CONAN,
You should be able to download a free trial version of CoolEdit Pro 2000. This software will allow you to first join all of the audio clips together, then normalize the entire audio. You can also do cool stuff like remove background hiss, noise, etc...

The problem is that you really don't want to normalize all the parts together - normalization won't work if one of the parts is loud and the others are soft. Normalization increases all audio by the same percentage to use up all available "volume" without clipping. What you need to do is load all of the parts into cooledit, then "amplify" the ones that are too small (you should be able to tell by looking at the amplitude of the waves on the screen) - what you want to do is normalize each of your 15 commentaries separately, then join them together with the film.
