Hi Colin. I don't know how much you use GoldWave and how much you know about it, but I'm guessing quite a lot based on your in-depth attention to audio. I haven't listened to the files, but wonder whether something like GoldWave's "Maximize Volume" might make the volume levels a bit more constant. Alternatively, if you're looking to separate the speech from the music rather than having them together, it might just be worth changing the volume (I usually double it until it's loud enough) so that the speech is at the right volume for you. Sorry if you've already thought of or tried these things, but that's all that comes to mind at the moment.
