Completely agree Mark. The kid intoning "BBC Sounds, music, radio,
podcasts" at the start of last week's In Our Time, and then the blast of
electric guitar and drums assaulting one's ears at the end (music under
some internal advert for another podcast purporting to distinguish
"what's fact and what's fad when it comes to wonder products") before
it's possible to dive for the stop button, are intensely irritating. It
would be nice to be able to ponder the thoughts of Melvyn's guests in
silence without the tacked-on aural attack.

For me the annoying top-and-tail stuff that's appeared, sometime since
BBC Sounds, has been that the only version of a radio show that
get_iplayer can see is now one where at the start and end there are
extra things telling us how wonderful BBC Sounds is or has some earnest
fellow thinking that we might like to listen to his BBC podcast too or
whatever. As I usually listen to just the same few shows and they tend
to add the same few things in the top-and-tail stuff it rapidly gets
tiresome. It's all been within-BBC but it's no less annoying for that
when it's now on every single one.
