If you paste the following URL into the settings page you will have
access to a hierarchical list of BBC Podcasts: -
http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts.opml-

But it's not that convenient, after a while, because the ordering
changes as new podcasts are released.

But you can paste individual URLs of podcasts that you like:

-http://podcasts.files.bbci.co.uk/p02nrtpm.rss-
BBC Inside Science: -http://podcasts.files.bbci.co.uk/b036f7w2.rss-

Where did I get these ? From the, rather small, *RSS* link that each
podcast website provides.
Look on here,
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b036f7w2/episodes/downloads, for
example, it's somewhere in the top right hand part of the web site.

Or do as @slartibartfast suggests.

*RSS* podcast feeds is what you're looking for, in general. I hope this
gives sufficient clue.
