For early music lovers: This wonderful programme* airs every Sunday morning on Irish radio, but there's a listen-again player for online. It's based around religious music (no preaching of any sort, strictly musical and historically factual) and he always starts with very early periods and then moves forward through time. It's a well-loved Sunday-morning treat for us and I've discovered some real gems this way.

They publish a playlist with details of the recordings, though that (and the listen-again) sometimes doesn't hit the website until Mondays. They used to have an archive of all their past shows - which go back years - in some format that was downloadable but needed Real Player, though that seems to have gone now. He's said on air that you can download podcasts of their past programmes, so I'll have to search this out - it wasn't obvious on the web page - and that big "Download Podcast" link takes you to an especially-made broadcast, which is also good, but is not the archive. There's also an anthology CD which I mean to get. Anyway:

* "Gloria" on Lyric FM Radio (Ireland)
