BBC iPlayer Help

Can I find podcasts on BBC iPlayer?

No, not at present. However, you can download a growing selection of BBC radio programmes, or highlights from radio programmes, as podcasts. These are available to download individually from bbc.co.uk, or you can subscribe to a podcast to get the latest episodes delivered automatically to your computer.

You can see the current range of programmes and highlights available to download from the BBC podcast directory or look out for the green podcast buttons on radio programme pages and station websites.

Most podcasts are available for seven days after the programme was broadcast, but once you have downloaded an episode you can keep it for as long as you like, and can also transfer it onto a range of portable devices, including the Apple iPod, Creative Zen, Microsoft Zune, Sony Walkman, among others.
