Well, apparently I am being interviewed on Radio Merseysdie now(Stan Ambrose folk programme) but my computer won't let me though, though the BBC site says you can ("listen live" is an option offeeed). Soemthing to do with the wrong kind of iplayer maybe? Anybody know how you are meant to do this?

I think you need Realplayer

I thought I had, but maybe I don't. How do you tell?

Look on the task bar or the desktop of your PC or laptop and see if you can see an icon with the Real Audio logo on it, if you can't see one, then you don't have Real. You can download for free from the Real Audio website.

Dear Greg,
I can confirm that the 'Listen Again'
service is playing the programme.
I have just been listening to it

Ah, thanks for advice folks. After a lot of kerfuffle and failure I did manage to download Realplayer and hear it on ListenAgain. And if you'd like to hear itself, press here, but I should warn you the programme lasts a whole hour, wherein you will get the benefit of many Boat Band tracks, the latest track from the Urban/rap Shantytown Project, and my views on the state of the nation, regeneration and rap, Lakeman Carthy and Rusby, regional English music and many other intriguing topics!
