I guess all the consituent parts exist already - I was thinking more of an app that would make it easy for you to skip items whilst cooking, or washing up, or in the car etc.
If you have a CD player in the kitchen, it is very easy to skip to the next track - you stop what you're doing for a second, and hit one button. The same isn't true of trying to skip through items on the today programme - stare at the screen, grab the mouse, choose from a number of links, and click on one. Hit the space bar to hear the next item would be a nice feature. I'm not saying it should be part of the today website, just that if I had any programming skills whatsoever, I'd like to make it!
