This is a true statement . In the first audio, Edward says that Hank Straddlefield "plays the doctor in the show "Horrible Crimes and Forensic Miracles". To "play (the part of the villain)" is to interpret a villain in a film, show or play. Example: Andrew played the part of the gay sorcerer in the Hannukah play.
This statement is false. Hank Straddlefield is actually "sweeping the streets for a living", meaning that cleaning or sweeping is now his job; he is no longer an actor. Unfortunately, Hank Straddlefield will not be appearing in a new TV series!
This statement is true. Hank Straddlefield explains to Edward and Hannah that the show he used to act in (Horrible Crimes and Forensic Miracles) "has been canceled due to poor ratings". To "cancel a television show" is to end it, usually because of its limited success or popularity. A show which is "on the air" is currently being broadcast (as opposed to show which is off the air, or no longer being broadcast).
This statement is false. In fact, Edward admires Hank Straddlefield's acting ability. He says: I love your acting in "Horrible Crimes and Forensic Miracles". However, at the end of the conversation, Edward criticizes Hank Straddlefield's "sweeping ability" because he has "missed (or forgotten to clean away) some trash".

Bruno apologizes for calling Donna "out of the blue".

Bruno apologizes for calling Donna "out of the blue".
Why is he apologizing?
Why is he apologizing?
Although the term "blue" can express the sense of feeling sad or down, this isn't the case here.
Although people often apologize for "calling at a bad time", this isn't the reason for Bruno's apology. Bruno is excusing himself for calling Donna even though she doesn't know him and didn't give him her phone number.
Bruno is not apologizing because Donna is no longer working, but because Donna doesn't know him and his call was unexpected. "To be on the air" is to be speaking on the radio live, while to be off the air is the opposite.
To call someone "out of the blue" is to call them suddenly, without warning or unexpectedly. This expression is related to the longer idiom "out of a clear blue sky" which expresses a sense of something arriving from the sky randomly or without warning. Bruno is apologizing because Donna doesn't know him, and his phone call is unexpected.
