Once I get the other versions up, I'll setup the RSS feed for the
episodes.

btw - I had to share this with the backstage list, this comment comes
from the Digg comments

"i can't believe this of the bbc - ever since they hired that
ex-microsoft exec as the chief they have been "oh you need flash 10 for
this" or "you need silverlight for that" or "you can only access this
from the uk" - always using the most bleeding-edge and vendor-locked-in
software they could find, and usually windows-only (or with some crumby
feature-poor version for mac/linux when the monopoly guys get on their
backs).

i almost shit myself when of all things i saw an ogg theora file on an
plain old ftp server - wow no drm, a format that works on any platform,
has the bbc just done the biggest u-turn in history?! jees next we'll be
hearing that france has legalised p2p.

well done for a change aunty."
