This is where work and this group intersect for me... These titles are all on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/wherever-you-get-your podcasts, and will remain so. They just come with ads in those places.
This deal means that *ad-free* versions are on Amazon outlets for a select group of titles. I don't know the exact list, but yes, In Our Time is likely to be there. The News Quiz is part of "Friday Night Comedy" and I'm not sure about the story there as on podcast it's still delayed for four weeks (in an attempt to get UK listeners over to BBC Sounds). I'm not sure if that's continuing. And prior to this deal, no BBC podcast was available on Amazon. Now they all are - although only the select group of titles are ad-free. The Apple subscription deal is similar, and actually launched in the US. The difference is that you pay Apple a fee, and you get ad-free versions of a select group of titles, including some that were never otherwise available as a podcast. The Apple subscription deal is available everywhere in the world *except* the UK.
