... Since then the BBC had an "audio product" whose name escapes me that then was rewritten to be "BBC Sounds". If you look carefully the BBC doesn't promote "BBC Radio" anymore. It's all "BBC Sounds". The BBC now deprecates podcasts, driving users to BBC Sounds
If that's the case one would wonder why their own website hasn't yet got the message. If you go to "Sounds" and search for, for example "More or Less" you'll find the most recent episode of the MoL /podcast/ at https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0fn0lnw "Do 94% of marriages in Portugal really end in divorce?" and - yes - that's a "sounds" URL. But if you approach it through what might be a legacy set of pages, eg from https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qshd and click on the "More or Less Podcast" tab, that takes you to https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02nrss1/episodes/downloads (which doesn't have "sounds" in its URL), and if you click the topmost entry in the list of episodes you get to https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0fn0lnw - no "sounds" literal in that either. It's only when you click on "Listen Now" that you finally end up on a "sounds" page. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
