With an alt caption.

Yes, that's exactly what I found.  There seem to be two players, one for
listening live and the other for the archived audio.  If you look at other
programs like Hot Jazz, you'll see a link to play the current episode
which opens their standard audio player.  From there, looking at the
source of the audio player eventually leads to a link you can use for
downloading.  That doesn't seem to be the case here.  According to the
main program page for the Big Broadcast, I should just be able to go to
any archived program and there should be a way to play it.  I know that
archived programs on the web go back to at least 2011 and the downloads on
their server go back further.  It seems to be that one date (2013-05-12)
which I can't seem to find.

No, it's a local show on WAMU only.  They have online archives, but no
podcasts.  Believe me, I would rather download podcasts anyway because
that's much easier, but no luck.
