BBC iPlayer is too slow over our internet connection to be useful - perhaps in a couple of years time!

That's the BBC iPlayer Radio page.

This more elusive page has links to;

Now and Next offers a schedule for the week ahead, and is very good at picking up regular programmes.

But it will sometimes miss interesting one-off programmes. Perhaps we could offer it a clearer definition of folk music.
