Although I find --pid-recursive to be very useful, I do not always find it easy to get the results I want. As far as I can see it is not recursive in the sense that word is usually used in computing. As far as I can make out you need to find a page with links to a number of episodes. You then take the PID from the address bar of the page. --pid-recursive will then download all the episodes linked to from that page. Often you can get to that page by following the link to the Programme website. If there is a large number of episodes so that they are shown on more than one page, the episodes on each page will need to be retrieved separately. Sometimes the Programme website link is to a page describing only one episode, the parent PID will have to be found in another way. If anyone can explain it better, please do. As for searching for The Whisperer, if you go to bbc.co.uk/sounds and put whisperer in the search box it will take you to a page showing the episodes. Click the first episode. On the page for the first episode click the link which reads, See all episodes from The Whisperer in Darkness. You will be taken to a page showing a number of episodes. The PID in the address bar is p06spb8w. I was puzzled that the word Whisperer does not appear anywhere in my radio.cache file. A date is shown for each episode along with Radio 4 as though it had been broadcast on that date. At first I struggled to find the Radio 4 Schedule so I looked in The Sunday Times. Eventually I did find the BBC's Radio 4 Schedule which confirmed it had not been broadcast. That it is the reason it is not in the cache.
