First one Glenn lists is available for on-demand webcast here:
http://www.prx.org/pieces/8821

Second one listed is here:  http://www.prx.org/pieces/11083

You have to be a member of Public Radio Exchange to listen online;
membership is free.  Apparently there are no unique qualifications to
join PRX as a "Peer Review" member, but individuals are encouraged to
write reviews.

For more details, visit
http://help.prx.org/index.php/Membership#Listener_Membership to find
out more about being a listener member.

You'll recognize some content here...Radio Netherlands has 199 pieces
available for listening.

Many interesting, independently-produced public radio programs are
posted here.  Even though 723 pieces are classified as
"International", only those from RNW are from a broadcaster we'd
consider as an international broacaster.

Selections from the CBC's "Vinyl Cafe" and "Outfront" are also
available here.  Others are invited to look for other interesting
finds...
