  1. So the BBC have decided to carry on with The Infinite Monkey Cage after the way they treated @robinince , & Brian Cox not coming back either?

    That reminds me to unsubscribe from the show in my podcast app

  8. Just found BBC 6Music Indie Focus, and I think this is the radio station I have been looking for all along.

    Great music, limited commentary, and NO adverts!

  9. Is anyone else tired of the BBC’s insistence on calling radio programmes podcasts just because you’re listening using iPlayer radio? (Okay, BBC Sounds, if you really must). It isn’t as though they call television programmes ”vodcasts” whenever you watch them using an “on demand” service.

    Now that BBC Sounds has cut off those of us in the rest of the world, I don't suppose some kind soul will upload the new series of Paul SInha's Perfect Pub Quiz to PeerTube or something 🙏

    Comedian & impersonator #PeterSerafinowicz (Shaun of the Dead, The Tick, Star Wars) hosted a show on #BBCRadio 6... but as 70s/80s middle-of-the-road entertainer #TerryWogan ... but as a #JungleMusic show on South London pirate radio 🤣🤣🤣

    Word-for-word recreation of an actual pirate radio show blended with genteel BBC listeners' letters & hardcore raps about Bad Man Wogan messing up your duvet & drinking all your cuvée 🤣

    America's national anthem was written by a lawyer, Francis Scott Key, after watching the British navy bombing Fort McHenry in 1814.
    It was set to an English social men's club song and recognized as the national anthem in 1889. Notoriously difficult to sing, and traditionally played at public sports events and orchestral concerts, the anthem has inspired emotion and attracted controversy.

    I think as long as you make clear it's not affiliated, that should be fine.

    I follow a few hashtags for BBC radio shows (e.g. ISIHAC); a fan account for In Our Time might be something other fans would appreciate.

    But if you're still worried about the ethics, maybe start with a hashtag (e.g. HASHInOurTimeRadio )

    Thank you BBC Home Service, Micheal Bentine, Harry Secombe, Peter Sellers, and Spike Milligan.

    That’d be the longwave broadcast that our emergency training at work last year told us is *the* national emergency channel. And which unlike all the alternatives can actually be picked up by mariners way out at sea. And that I listen to whenever I have the car radio on.
    Remember how when Russia invaded Ukraine the BBC increased its shortwave provision in that part of Europe because these “legacy” forms are more reliable and resilient in adverse conditions?
    This is up there with making it so that telephones only work if the electricity grid is on. FFS.

    Say it with me: bastards.

  19. Every time I listen to Pick of the Pops on BBC Radio 2, I wish Alan Freeman was still alive and doing the show.

    “Dinner with Dylan”

  22. Going through a box of bits, came across my old BBC Radio 4 Test Match Special radio, Long Wave only. Radio still works, but will not pick up any more cricket.

    When the cricket was on Long Wave, you could watch the cricket live, whilst listening to the commentary, can't do that anymore with either DAB, or internet radio.

  23. Sad that Andy Kershaw is no longer with us. Such a young age.
