The BBC walls off most of its radio content inside their BBC Sounds app. That stinks because Sounds doesn't let us subscribe with the podcast apps we're already using. Also, some of the podcasts they do have are on a three week delay, which is asinine for topical shows.
This website publishes select BBC shows to an RSS podcast feed for more convenience and portability. New episodes are usually available about an hour after the BBC releases them on Sounds.
To use it, copy the RSS feed links below for the shows you want to subscribe to and paste them into your podcast app. Happy listening!
