They're put out by Big Finish who are licensed by the BBC to produce them, you could start at http://www.bigfinish.com/ - they have other distributors though.

As for whether in order or not... how much money do you have? There's lots of them. Here's a list:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Eighth_Doctor_audio_plays
None of them are dire and skippable, at least not by wide fandom consent. Many of the plays have overreaching story arcs, but most can be taken as self-contained. Storm Warning is the first play put out, in 2001, but the recent Mary Shelley audios are set earlier. The recent Dark Eyes is set the latest - it follows on from To The Death but it could be taken by itself.

I don't really know what to specifically recommend, as I like them all, but a lot of people cite The Chimes of Midnight as being a fantastic play (it's really really creepy).

There are two main companions, the Edwardian adventurer Charley Pollard (whose style of companioning was reportedly influential on the new series), and later the ballsy Lucie Miller, but there are other companions too. You could start from the Lucie Miller ones if you liked - they have a quite New Who feel to them, deliberately so.

Anyway, good luck and I hope you like them! There are many guides out there for prospective fans that can do a better job than me. And if you can't afford all of them, there are ...cheaper versions out there. Including on LJ communities if you can find the Big Finish fans.
