First of all, this radio show involves a mms url inside the plylist

your usual url in a playlist. I read the information on the website
and this setup is obviously very Windows-oriented and possibly
Windows-exclusive though it does say you can run it with Internet
Explorer for the Mac. IE for the mac is not accessible but prhaps
you could install it--look on google for it--adn paste in the url an
hae it work; no guarantees though. I tried the url directly from
safari, firefox, vlc and windows media player; also flip4mac didn't
appear to pick it up.
as for urls in emails, you should usually be able to enter on the
url by makig sure you are on it and doing vokeys-space; you probably
have to interact with the text to do this. If this doesn't work, you
should be able to hilight the url with shift-down-arrow if it's on
one line or shift-right-arrow if you have to go letter by letter;
then do control-c to copy and ctrl-v to paste in safari or firefox.
It so happens that I read the email in OE, so I copied from OE and
pasted to safari; however, I have used the above techniques
successfully in leopard with other urls and one or the other of them
should work. However, this is a moot point in the case of this
stream. If I do find any other way to access the stream, I will
certainly post it immediately.
Hth.
