Well, many of you probably already know about this, but my husband and I have just discovered it.

Go to http//www.bbc.co.uk/radio/ , then click on the big "Open BBC Radio Player" bar to the top right. After it opens in a new window, just select the programme you would like to hear. Easy - peasy.

I've been enjoying Radio Wales' "Your Kit's In The Wash", which features interviews with amateur athletes in Wales. There's a great spot on Dolgellau Women's Rugby Club - lots of beautiful "valleys Welsh" accents!

RadiosFive's 'Fighting Talk' will be back soon. It's a very amusing sport based panel discussion. It's one of the beeb's most popular online programmes.
I couldn't cope in Japan without BBC radio online. I like to listen to the Goon Show and Hancock's Half Hour. Oldies but goodies.

One of the few things that keeps me sane in the US. Have been listening to the Likely Lads and On the Hour as well as good music programming and the Today programme.
Nothing in the US to match this kind of output.

Yeah I recently started going through some of the localised stations. Heard some Irish music on Radio Scotland (!) and then spent an enjoyable afternoon listening to Radio Foyle. Love that Ulster accent!
