Supported OPML feed now available for use.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/opml/bbc_podcast_opml.xml

Slight caveat - dateModified doesn't currently represent the correct
date (it's stuck sometime in the past) - so ignore!

The OPML only lists all of the RSS feeds available, with links to them,
and not the actual content of the RSS. This is the way this is supposed
to work, and it means that it isn't tied to update everytime a new
episode appears. It will only update when an entire podcast is taken
off, or added.

Also - you might find this node useful (maybe not):

<bbcstats genres="Urban|Music|Sport|News & Current
Affairs|Factual|Comedy & Quizzes|Entertainment|Religion & Ethics|Arts &
Drama|Classical|World|Pop & Chart|Rock &
Indie|Science|Childrens|History|Folk & Country|Jazz|Classic Pop &
Rock|Music Documentaries|Blues Soul & Reggae|Dance|Soap|Experimental"
language="en-gb|cy|es|ar|zh|ga|gd|fa|pt"
networks="1xtra|fivelive|wales|6music|worldservice|radio4|cymru|radio3|a
siannetwork|northernireland|radio1|tees|bbc7|radio2|scotland|manchester|
coventry|radio|oxford|lancashire|london|northamptonshire"
rssencs="mp3|m4a" rsstype="audio-download"/>

Which lists all of the podcast genres used, languages, networks
available. It also lists rssencs which is simply a unique lists of the
formats used, and the type that the podcast payloads are - in this case,
these podcasts are always a download. This is for future purposes.
