Episode 1 plays just fine using NFS share and VLC so file is complete,

like to understand why the file for the first episode is so much
smaller.  How can I find this out.

You probably just downloaded the lower bit rate version (48kbps) of the programme. Maybe the higher bit rate version (128kbps) wasn't available when you recorded. Check the bit rate with mediainfo, Amarok, etc.

Since for spoken word, as opposed to opera, the smaller file sounds
fine, what can I do to reduce the file size for the larger files I have
now and what prefs should I be using for future spoken word downloads to
keep file sizes down?
