That's what "Listen Again" is for (but you knew that <g>).

I found a link to the WMA files and have been converting them to MP3 to 
listen to.  Quality's not quite so good (I really wish they'd make it 
available as a podcast), but we can listen to them.

The weird thing is that on my computers, I can listen on "listen again", 
but apparently the iPhone link (which iplayer_dl uses) hasn't been 
updated with the files.  But if I try to listen on my phone (using the 
built-in web browser or the installed Firefox browser I put on it a few 
weeks ago), I get a message saying that I can't listen to it because I'm 
not in the UK.

But on my PCs (all of them), it plays from those same links.

So the first episode, we actually hooked a laptop up to the clock radio 
in the bedroom.

What I've taken to is using mplayer to dump the audio from the WMA stream 
to a WAV file and then converting that.  Messy, and if it times out I 
have to start over (and it has to play through the entire programme 
rather than just downloading it), but as a guy I used to work with used 
to say, "if it's stupid but it works, it ain't stupid". <g>
