I now do almost all of my radio listening on demand, listening to very little programming live Today and Today in Parliament being notable exceptions.
One of the meain reasons for this is the excellent audio on demand service from BBCi which offers most programmes for up to 7 days after their original transmission.
My listening typically makes the most of this, as my favourite radio shows are ones that I'm never in for, or which I would otherwsie sleep through - Bob Harris, The Blue Room and Stuart Maconie's Sunday Breakfast Show being just three examples...
Anyway - the Radio Player has now relaunched and is better than before - not only can you skip through programmes more easily, but they've also expanded the range of content on offer. I'm listening to a programme on Northern Soul from Radio Stoke, which obviously in normal circumstances I would never get to hear.
It's great - I like Northern Soul, and now I don't even have to move to Stoke to hear it. Phew!
