I love this program dearly, but my local station no longer carries it. The BBC World Service website offers Outlook as (free) streaming audio, but not as a podcast. Streaming audio isn't convenient for me right now because I don't have reliable web access at home.<br> <br> Is this program available anywhere as an mp3 podcast? Perhaps from a US public radio station or other international affilliate? Or maybe on some sort of audio aggregator page? <br> <br> Many BBC World Service programs <i>are</i> available for <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/podcasts/directory/station/worldservice/">podcast</a>, and every now and then new programs are added to the list. This makes me think that international rights restrictions aren't the problem here; rather, the BBC is gradually phasing in podcasting as their budget-to-bandwidth ratio improves. So although I'd love to get Outlook directly from the BBC, I don't think getting it from elsewhere makes me an Evil Illegal Downloader. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.101722 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 06:38:32 -0800 bbc outlook podcast program radio streamingaudio worldservice [ixia] http://ask.metafilter.com/76286/What%2Dwas%2DWorld%2DService%2Dbeeping%2Dat What did I hear on BBC World Service last night? I go to bed listening to Radio 4, which after broadcasts end simulcasts BBC World Service. I woke up in the middle of the night (about 0230 GMT) to hear what sounded like intermittent dialup modem noises coming from my radio. These were definitely being broadcast by World Service as I could tune out and in - but does anyone have any idea what they were? It wasn't the 'pips' for the top of the hour. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.76286 Wed, 14 Nov 2007 16:15:01 -0800 beeps noise worldservice samstarling http://ask.metafilter.com/5651/Has%2DMadonna%2Dreleased%2Dan%2Danonymous%2Dalbum On the BBC World Service Radio show <a href=http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/programmes/musicbiz.shtml>Music Biz</a>, the old-school The Alarm was featured because they got a hit record by pretending they were the very young The Poppyfields, including a lip-synced video. But my question: the guy from The Alarm said he thinks even Madonna has an anonymous album out now. Does she? What is it? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2004:site.5651 Thu, 04 Mar 2004 17:58:47 -0800 anonymousalbum bbc madonna musicbiz thealarm thepoppyfields worldservice Mo Nickels
