These sites can be useful in a variety of ways. On each site you'll find different categories ( subject areas) and you can listen to someone talking about something that you may be interested in learning about. In addition of course, you can hear that persons pronunciation and patterns of word stress. As always with this kind of site or most video news sites, you can also replay them if you feel that you missed something or just because you'd like to hear the speaker again.
