I want to save some received voice messages to a usb stick; how to do?
Are these plain mp3's in there somewhere?  TIA.

 No, there are no "plain mp3" anywwhere. By default, all data in Android
is usually stored internally in the protected data folder of the
respective app *or* on a server and the app just loads the data from
that server.
 Maybe the app itself does an export, save or "share" feature. When
"sharing" the recording you should be able to select a file manager app
to save it somehwere.
 One thing you can always do is to play back the message and record it
using an audio recorder on another device.
 

That's what I did; actually the messages were sent messages via faecesbook messenger, all other avenues smelled bad in addition to being more than less workable.
