Re: Recording BBC Radio




That's right - I don't want the whole show.  All I want is enough to cover
my journey to work, but at the moment (listening live) all I get is the
last
half hour, followed (most days) by an irritating discussion by people who
don't appear to have spent more than 5 minutes outside of their academic
institutions.

I figure that if I start recording at around 6:30, I'll get some in-depth
news and political interviews (which is the bit I'm most interested in
hearing), and be at work before the God Squad have their say.

Did anyone say "picky"? ;-)
