If the material is basically just speech, you should be able to 
drastically reduce the MP3 bit rate, possibly down to as little as 
32Kb/s, or your could use GSM coding at 13.6kb/s.  This assumes that it 
isn't already low bit rate.

Another tactic that might help, if available, is to set HTTP caching 
headers on the server to try and minimise the number of cache misses 
that actually require the file to be fetched (most web designers seem to 
go out of their way to frustrate caching, but this will be a case where 
the material should never change).
