I have three MPEG-2 encoded podcasts of about 40 minutes apiece that I would love to fit on a single 80-minute audio CD.
Is this possible? How? And will the sound quality be reasonably okay? It's just voice recordings, so quality is not the primary consideration.

If you want the result be an Audio CD that will play in normal CD players, no compression is allowed. If you want the result to be a data CD with compressed audio files on it (that can play in certain "Mp3 CD players"), then just compress them like any other CD (rip in iTunes or any of a dozen other apps).

You can buy higher capacity media as well, but it may not be compatible with all burners etc.
