iTunes should do it for you. On my PC, I would do:
Load all files into iTunes. Change the Preferences, Advanced tab Change the Encoding to MP3 at a desired bitrate. 64kbps is definitely sufficient for spoken word, 32kbps is probably okay, too. Then, find all files in iTunes, select all of them, right click on one, and choose Convert Selection to MP3. Then, they should all convert and show up in your My Music folder.
I suspect this will also work on Macs. Best of luck (:
On a Mac, iTunes cannot open .wma files. For other file types all I have to do is drag the file into iTunes to import it, and w/ these files it bounces back to where they came from and doesn't import them.
