Well, I haven't been able to play any of the recordings on that page.
RealPlayer-10 gives me this error:

The content you are trying to play uses an audio codec
that is obsolete and no longer supported. Please contact
the content provider about using a supported codec.

Has anybody else had a problem?

Thanks.
