BBC Radio 4 Choice Podcast Archive?

July 20, 2010 8:39 AM

Is there an archive of the BBC's excellent Radio 4 Choice podcast? They only have the last episode posted and there are some episodes from the past I'd like to hear.

If somebody can point me to a place where it exists or can post it online for me, I'd be eternally grateful.

In a word, no: the BBC's podcasting rules for most programmes (other than the World Service) limit availability to 7 days, so any archives are going to be in the hands of people who've subscribed. (You have MeMail.)

CastRoller seems to have an archive of 50-ish podcasts, although strangely the most recent is for March 19, 2010. I'm sure this site is illegal, but I can sometimes find back episodes of shows I've just subscribed to here.

Response by poster: @clerestory Most of those links seem to be broken. :-/

Thanks anyways!

Not quite what you asked for, but if you like Radio 4 Choice you might also find Speechification worth a look, there are many Radio 4 documentaries on there and the links should work.

Oh man, sorry hylaride. I didn't think to check, since I had been able to get unofficial back episodes of The Moth podcast there, I thought they had archives for everything they listed. Sorry about that.

I wish they had more of these too. I've been looking for Friday Night Comedy episodes for a while now on the back archives. :\
