BBC Sounds
The #1 subreddit for Brits and non-Brits to ask questions about life and culture in the United Kingdom. We invite users to post interesting questions about the UK that create informative, good to read, insightful, helpful, or light-hearted discussions.
I don't think it's as intuitive as iPlayer Radio was but it has improved since it launched. It's awful with Apple devices however - Apple TV and HomePod only support it through AirPlay which just makes it clunky to use, but it appears to be fine on my folks Google Nest, though casting often breaks when using it.

I’ve really enjoyed the variety of music on Radio 6, added a lot to my Spotify rotations
A subreddit about Florence + the Machine and Florence Welch in general.
You can listen to last nights performance at the Royal Albert Hall for the next four weeks on , or download using the BBC Sounds app for offline listening.
I have downloaded the 320 kbps version which is available , either as the full concert, or as chopped up tracks complete with all metadata. 😊 [Edit: Obvs fatigued -- I messed up Between Two Lungs. Updated version .]
Links expire on 19 September 2024.
I suspect we will see some tweaks in the mix when the TV version airs, so this is only intended as a quick fix. FYI, I’ve cut out the two BBC Radio 3 interjections during the concert.
As above really. It's really annoying having to listen to month-old news in the middle of on-demand services. Does anyone know why it's not cut out? Surely they could even automate it...?
I actually thought about writing in to Any Questions (Edit, I mean R4 Feedback) about it but thought that would acknowledge how old I'm getting.

Hi, I am just curious if there are people all around the world (including the US) who thoroughly enjoy listening to the BBC sounds app.
I really enjoy Radio 1 and their upbeat music programming. The time difference is super convenient for an American listener. For example, I really enjoy my Friday lunchtime (I take a lunch walk) as it is 6pm UK time and they are gearing up for Friday night dance party. Talk about an ecstatic introduction to my weekend. On my way home from work (5pm US, 11pm UK)I enjoy listening to Pete Tong.
In the morning on my train commute ( it is 8am US, 2pm UK), it is the Mollie and King show that I enjoy.
I also enjoy the other stations such as BBC Radio 5 live (current events, news and fun talk) and Late night with Becky Want. Some of the live programming is not available for me but the older episodes (they somewhat become prerecorded podcasts) are playable for me.
I do not know how many people are like me who enjoy BBC as much as I do. I almost feel I am all alone in the US, the only person who enjoys these shows. None of my friends, coworkers will even begin to understand or appreciate my daily rituals.
For some context, I am not British nor an expat. I grew up in a British colony (hence my association for British customs and things) but I have lived and worked in America for over 30 years.
The BBC sounds app allows me awesome escapism from my daily life, chores and responsibilities. I can pretend to be someplace else, participate in some UK parenting discussion that is happening on Radio 5 live. When I switched off the app, I am back in America.
I just wonder if they are others like me.
Let me know !!!
