Looking for Christopher Hitchens audio files (debates, interviews, etc)

A friend of mine recently introduced me to Christopher Hitchens. I am going to buy some of his books soon, but I am looking to listen to as many of his debates as possible. I would like to be able to listen to them in mp3 format so I can transfer them to my iPod.

And suggestions as to where I can go to get/download as many Christopher Hitches debates (or interviews) as possible?

Christopher Hitchens vs Ahmed Younis. (short, but makes me laugh.)
Hitchens vs. WL Craig
Hitchens vs. Doug Wilson
Hitchens vs Hitchens

Here's a list with a lot more of them.

Audible.com has about 20 items such as Arguably: Essays by Christopher Hitchens.

Audiobooks written by him

Audiobooks read by him (and one recorded interview he did with Rushdie)

Looks like those two search links miss a few items like CSPAN Q & A's he did. Anyway, you can find them with a search on the site for his name.

If you are converting videos to mp3s his discourse on the Ten Commandments is worth a listen.

One of my favorites is where he's taking a lot of questions from the folks at the AAI conference from 2007.

He also narrates the spoken word version of his memoir, Hitch-22.
