Podcasts of Syndicated shows...downgraded?

Since the mid-summer, I've noticed at least 2 shows that have fallen victim to lower bitrates and bad encoding. The Penn Gillette Show (really the only interesting thing on Free-FM that I found) and lately, The Lionel Show. What is the deal here? Are they thinking that the public will listen to good content no matter what the audio quality is like? Or, are the powers that be at Infinity/CBS and Buckley thinking that 'HD' radio will sound better by comparison after the podcasts are reduced from 128Kbps to 32 and 48Kbps respectively? And if you do that why not stick to the Fraunhofer standard to keep the shows from sounding like they were sired over by King Neptune?

Like cell phones, Big Radio has opted for the 'digital downgrade', rather than delivering quality sound!
