Balkan beats + Ira Glass = best run ever?

Is it possible/simple/affordable to mix/layer/? music I own under a podcast?
I really like running to podcasts instead of music. But, I am quite aware that running to music keeps me on a faster and steadier running tempo. If I could bring something into creation by just saying it, I want to be able to combine a podcast I've downloaded and music I own, so that the music is quiet enough to hear the podcast, but loud enough to drive me to run faster. Unfortunately, while quite computer literate, this is a world I know nothing about.
An optimal outcome would be:
software that's free or cheap
a process that isn't too onerous or difficult to learn, because obviously, once I've listened to the podcast, I need to do this again to a new one.
[yes, I do realize that some podcasts have interstitial music at times, but lets pretend that's not an issue]
Is this possible? Googling words I thought might get me there got me....nowhere.

This thread is closed to new comments.
So, Audacity is both totally user friendly and opaque at the same time. I think I mean it's like what people say about learning piano-easy to learn, but a lifetime to master? It's getting me where I need to go, but I have the feeling there are also so many things I have no clue about in there. Not a bad thing! A great thing!
Thanks for the answer and this whole new [to me] FREE world to explore.
