I'm not familiar with Radio Downloader, but there are several 'what-you-hear-is-what-you-record' packages for Mac, that effectively enable you to stream audio internally, so you can use the app itself, or Audacity/Peak/Pro Tools etc. to record anything you can listen to, including radio streams.
 I use Audio Hijack Pro from Rogue Amoeba, and whilst it is 'not supported' any more, the free version is still available at http://www.rogueamoeba.com/legacy/ , and it works - it just doesn't have the fancy scheduling options etc.
See also, Wiretap Studio from ambrosiasw.com. not free, but fairly cheap.
Fo free there is Soundflower, from www.cycling74.com (very simple to use),  and Jack from www.jackosx.com (more powerful/complex)

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!
