Best Philosophy downloads/audiobooks?

I do a lot of driving and tend to listen to many educational downloads on my Ipod in the process. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being a great philosopher, I'm 1. Not being burdened by stunning ambition, I'd like to get to 5 soon enough. Would anybody have suggestions for Introduction to Philosophy downloads and, perhaps, more…

On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being a great philosopher, I'm 1. Not being burdened by stunning ambition, I'd like to get to 5 soon enough. Would anybody have suggestions for Introduction to Philosophy downloads and, perhaps, more advanced downloads discussing Heidegger's and Nietzsche's ideas? Indeed, a good download on Existential thinkers generally would be good. (My interest was initially sparked from reading Camus's The Outsider and trying to better understand what existentialism is.)

Have a look at Pod-casts from the Partially Examined Life.

This is a great introduction to Existentialism in my opinion.He as also great videos on other Philosophers and also explores philosophical themes in literature.
