The world is shades of grey, not just black and white.

All of them, of course.

Listened to Episode 3 last night.  Was good to hear "One Song to the Tune 
of Another" - it's been too long. :-)

So if even one nutjob thinks that something the government does is an 
endorsement of religion, then it is?

I think I see why we have gridlock if we have to be careful of what any 
one of "x" million people in the US could possibly result in them 
thinking that the government endorses a particular religion.

Which one was that?
We might be out of step. :-(

The one from last Monday.

I'd find it hard to believe you haven't been listening since they started 
up 3 weeks ago. :-)

I know, I've been listening to them offline. I've just downloaded it. 
ipdl.exe has stopped working and I'm using "Web PVR Manager" to record 
things. It is not the easiest interface I have used.
I thought that I had listened to it but it must have been S54 e2 the one 
with the Swanee Kazoo.

So Wheesht while I get on with it ;-)

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>

As you were!
I liked “Hit me with your Battle Hymn” and the “House of the Rising 16”. 
{One of the best I can remember was Willy Russell singing “I Belong To 
Glasgow to the tune of Deutschland Uber Alles” (s5 e2). That was a good 
programme as it also had, “I Feel Pretty to the tune of Beethoven's 5th 
Symphony”. “The Hokey-Cokey to the tune of As Long As He Needs Me” and 
“Where Did You Get That Hat? to the tune of The Dambuster's March”. I’ve 
got a copy if you want (13 Meg)}

I’m surprised you can get it with a non UK IP address but fair doos if 
you can. To save you hassle why don’t you try get_iplayer it saves them 
as mp3/AAC. It is quick and runs under Linux.

Yes, I particularly liked "Hit me with your Battle Hymn", but they all 
were outstanding. :-)  It's rare for that game not to be good, unless 
Jeremy's involved. ;-)

It's funny that you mention Beethoven's 5th, because we've started 
listening to ISIRTA again as well, and as you know, that's a regular 
feature of that show.

Which episode was "Where Did you Get That Hat" to "Dambuster's March"?  I 
probably have it already (I've got what I *think* is a complete 
collection of all the shows, but I've been wrong before <G>).

I'll give that a try, thanks!

Oh! No! Jeremy's great.

No I didn't. I listened to ISIRTA live when it was broadcast. And that 
was a long time ago.

I've got a lot that were recorded and uploaded on The Goons Depository. 
If you have any missing I may have them. Unfortunatly the sound quality 
is a bit iffy on some of them.

Do you know Radio Archive? It is a good source.
