Here is some more audio to accompany my Latin Via Proverbs book. The book is available from lulu.com, and it organizes the proverbs into grammatical categories, something that I hope can make the book useful for Latin students at any level, starting from the very first day of studying Latin! There is a companion volume also now available from Lulu: Vulgate Verses: 4000 Sayings from the Bible for Teachers and Students of Latin.
If you are looking for English translations and notes to these proverbs, check out the LatinViaProverbs.com website - it's been completely revamped so that the Latin, English and audio are all available together, along with a search engine that covers the contents of both Latin Via Proverbs and Vulgate Verses. I've also posted some information there about Why I Read Latin Out Loud.

I guess I (&others) lack the Top Secret clearance, for we cannot find english translations.
They are here, at the Latin Via Proverbs wiki:

No Top Secret clearance required...
