Nice that this is available to download outside of the UK (I'm in the US). I've already downloaded this and will listen tomorrow.
I was under the impression that the BBC region locked such downloads to the UK due to their public funding.
- OJFord 6y agoWe need to pay a licence fee for the television (online or not) but not radio. Television licence isn't connected to BBC iPlayer (online BBC television live/VoD stream) accounts, so I think the region lock is just a lazy way to prevent people who certainly don't pay the licence fee from accessing the content. Since radio doesn't require a licence, no account, and anyone can access online. (Or offline if you manage to pick it up. Or DAB. Or the World Service, but quick search suggests it doesn't air In Our Time.)
