Sounds like an "ancient" Website.

The page with the links to the broadcast is titled "A

As a lover of Classical Music, I would like to view that.

What I've done before (and could "dust off"), is to Install an old version
of Ubuntu (which I used in the Olden days) inside a Virtual Machine
(Virtualbox in the past, but I've been experimenting, lately with
KVM/Qemu), and enjoying the Website there.

One caution:  Use that Old OS (and Browser)  *only*  for these, known Old
Sites.  Don't browse the Open Internet there, unless you've taken a
Snapshot, which you can Restore!


The link is titled "Audio Complete Show 1 hr 58 Min":

Thanks again.

It's sites like these that "inspire" those, using Windows to keep old and
Insecure Technology, which then get infected by Malware.

Like I said, something old, via a Virtual Machine.  Could even be an older
Windows release.  (But be Careful!)
