Every Essential Mix. The first few years are a nostalgiagasm for me.

This is such a great project--thousands of schoolkids report the news with help from the BBC.

"...a perverse concession to the Russian authorities"

Looks like funny jokes on the BBC will have to be banned.

I made a profile thingy for the Movable Type Action Streams plugin which you can use to display your Radio Pop activity on your MT-powered website.

"...we have deliberately made it a bit convoluted - first, go to your Radio Pop Listen page and click on the "Add your listening »" link. Then go over to our /programmes site, find the episode of the programme you listened to, copy the URL and paste it into the box on that page. Voila! The programme will be added to your listening profile." Voila my arse. They don't give a good reason why they've made it so hard for people who listen to the radio on the radio to use the service, either. I mean, I *love* the idea of Radio Pop, and am willing to jump through these hoops, but most people are going to look at those instructions and say, 'Er, no.'. Fingers crossed someone much cleverer than me will use the API to make an app with a button I can click to say "Hello Radio Pop, I'm listening to Radio 4 just now/Bye Bye Radio Pop, now I've stopped".

"Radio Pop enhances your BBC radio listening - enabling you to create a personal record of the programmes you hear, and see what your friends and everyone else is listening to." Will get really cool when they incorporate Listen Again. In other news, I *really* want an Olinda radio.

"...the time has come for the BBC to start adopting open standards such as H.264 and AAC for our audio and video services on the web."

Lots of improvements, works with new iPlayer.

Guideline for BBC producers and writers in the 40s and 50s.

Fuckers. I've been watching for as long as I can remember.

Looks bonkers (in a good way)

Analysis of the response to the new design. (I like it, except the fixed width.)

Complete list of BBC podcasts.

Cat and mouse. I wonder if the Beeb will just give up.

A lovely reminiscence left on an old post of mine about Daphne Oram.

Tivo for web radio, essentially. Can't wait to start rolling my own Radio 4 schedules!

"A blog of Radio 4. Not about Radio 4 but of it. We point to the bits we like, the bits you might have missed, the bits that someone might have sneakily recorded."

"The iPlayer will be re-engineered to work with Macs"

A catalogue of idiocy found on the BBC's "Have Your Say" site.

"This widget allows browsing and playing of the BBC’s excellent archive of recently transmitted radio programmes." - I now have two widgets running.

BBC Twitterbot code.

The BBC on Twitter.

"We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Ban any further transmissions of "Quote Unquote" on BBC Radio 4" - everyone, sign now!

On the non-spookiness of people actually reading what you write about them on your weblog.

"The site is a place to record and share memories of the important days in your life. It also gives information about events which have taken place on any day since 1st January 1900, and on many dates before that." - BBC prototype.

Fancy new BBC news thing that lets you watch the flow of popular stories and videos. Nice.

BBC Radio streams, easily accessed.

'A TouchGraph applet of the foaf:knows data from the BBC Programme Catalogue.'

"Ever wondered what a radio station's best friends would look like?"

Typically vague 'reporting' from prince.org, but it looks like you need to listen to Chris Evans on Radio 2.

uknova now redirects to a BBC piece on their anti-piracy unit busting someone for sharing torrents of Eastenders. A sad day. (Or an April Fool's prank.)

Ivor Cutler radio sessions listed, with some MP3s.

BBC News Headlines Auto-Classified as Good, Bad or Neutral.

Lots more Beeb podcasts on the way. Fantastic.

"The John Tusa Interview Archive: Listen to the entire interview with the writers, choregraphers, artists, architects and designers who share their life, work and ideas with John Tusa." If this is what's on Radio 3, I really need to start tuning in!

Surprisingly good (and not just because half the bands featured contain folk I know!).

@9600 - actors?! Don't be silly, it's a documentary:

A new classic radio spat!

A peek at the Beeb's telly download thing. Looks rather neat, but thoroughly Windowsy.

MeFi discussion on PhoneTags.

More exciting stuff from the BBC: rating and bookmarking songs you hear on the radio via mobile 'phone.

12.1% of BBC users are Firefox users.

The first episode of the next series is fabulous, in that quiet way.

Antarctic M and Co. speak from cold place.

Bloody hell.

Download all nine of Beethoven's symphonies here the day after they are broadcast.

Tag pages on BBC news with del.icio.us (doesn't seem to work at time of writing)

Wow. The Beeb now has a developer network, with content feeds and APIs (to come) for folk to muck about with. Expect cool stuff soon.

Using Nicecast to get audio from any application to the Airport Express - combined with the BBC Radio Player, this might bring me great joy.

Demo of del.icio.us embedded in the BBC Radio 3 site. Gnnk.

Among other things, 'The BBC will also be committed to using open standards that will enable users to find and repurpose BBC content in more flexible ways.'

RSS feeds of searches at the BBC. Thunderingly useful.
