       Anyone have a trick to getting access to this BBC Radio programming? I don't have a VPN setup on my phone rn, if anyone with that setup could check to see if that's all I need to listen to this podcast that would be great thanks https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0003579/episodes/guide

       @liaizon I connected via the UK (vpn) and it says its not available. I guess its not a region thing and they just dont have it online.NRK (norway's BBC) do this too. They seem to just host stuff for a period of time, then it disappears, then they randomly* bring it back.* there is probably a good reason for this, but I do not know it

       @matt @liaizon >there is probably a good reason for this, but I do not know itProbably licensing. Stuff like music licenses might have to be renewed regularly for a show or similar. Even if you license some footage or whatever for a series, said license might only be valid for a certain number of years before they have to decide between paying to renew it, or not distributing it anymore.

       So it seems its not even region locked its just "not available" any more according to folks responding... If anyone has any archives of UK media they have access too I'd like to listen to this thanks
