Thanks for the offer Steve - it is not that I am trying to build up any sort of collection.  I am spending a bit of time in the gym at the moment, nit so much getting fit as rehab after a shoulder injury, and I listen on my ipod.  I just downloaded randomly any names that looked interesting to me - Raymond Briggs, Jon Snow, Timothy Spall, etc. and then was frustrated when the music was so truncated.  Still some great chat from the guests of course.  I will investigate Radio Downloader though, thanks.

I was sure that the first ones I downloaded were complete shows, but the latest batch are 'podcasts' - whereby, 'for rights reasons' the music is shortened, to no more than an intro for each selection. What are these 'rights reasons'? - mostly the full tracks were not played on the programme anyway, certainly not any classical pieces. Very frustrating!
