OK, here's what I found - after I went to
http://wamu.org/programs/the_big_broadcast/13/06/02/the_big_broadcast_june_2_2013
and enabled JavaScript (I have NoScript) I saw a PLAY button with the "|>"
image at the top, which after I clicked it yielded a small popup with a flash
applet, which I presume allowed me to play the file (I am sighted).
According to Firebug ( https://getfirebug.com/ ) , the Play button is found at
this CSS path:
<<<
html.js body.html div.container_15 div.containerbg div.grid_10
div#content.column div.section div.region div#block-system-main.block
div.content div.node div.genblock div.onecol div.articleHeader div.listenbar
div.listenbarLeft a.newWindow img
>>>
And its content is:
<img border="0" alt="Play associated audio"
src="/sites/wamu.org/themes/wamu_dh_zen/dh/images/btn_article_play.jpg">
With an alt caption.
Regards,
