One of the things I like to do while folding laundry or cooking is listen to talks from LDS Voices. A majority of the talks are designed for an LDS audience, but some are not. The two following talks have been among my favorites:
1: "Soul-Butter and Hogwash: Mark Twain and Frontier Religion" by Jeffrey R. Holland. If you enjoy or are interested in Mark Twain this one is excellent.
2: "The Soul of Kalaupapa" by Fred Woods, Professor of Church History and Doctrine at BYU. This is about a community in Hawaii made up of people with Hansen's disease (leprosy). They were forced into isolation when they were found to have the disease from 1866 until 1969. Woods talks about how the different faiths in the community loved and supported each other; through the trial of their illness they gained a true testimony that we are all children of God and they treated each other like family.
I hope you get a chance to listen and enjoy :)

I've been listening to byu tv online and have run into some pretty good talks too. I'm usually bugging my mom to let me know what good ones she's come across, so I'm glad to see the couple you've suggested!
