In preperation for the 800 mile round-trip we'll be doing over Christmas, I need something good to listen to when the kids are asleep/watching DVDs in the back
Have there been any good stories/plays on radio 4 recently that you can recomend?
Anyone know of any good downloadable family stories, suitable for a 4-year old and entertaining enough for grown-ups? Winnie the Pooh is starting to grate, and don't get me started on Bob The Builder.
John Peel. Should be on the BBC podcast site.
Peddlers dirty truth is pretty interesting on BBC 5 Live plus there is a follow up following Lance. I like stuff you should know, BBC Radio 4 Comedy, Fighting Talk (although this season ain't as good)
Not sure on kids stuff

You do not need to restrict yourself to podcasts. Get this and you can download anything on BBC Iplayer. Loads of drama, comedy, documentary etc.
Or try Resonance FM, the Bike Show for poscasts.
My personal favourites.
Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode film reviews.
Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio.
Empire Magazine film podcasts.
Lauren Laverne, Steve Lamacq (round table discussion) and a few others off 6 Music.
The 5 Live sports specials (like Peddlars above)
The History of Jamaica (some great music)
For the kids, there is a CBeebies podcast with various stories.
Bleak Expectations (R4 comedy series).

Things you've been banned from.
"Dating websites. When asked what I most like in my women, my answer was not acceptable"
Joe Rogan podcast is awesome and he has some amazing guests on. I've learned so much from listening to it.
The Bugle, generally excellent, occassionally an acquired taste..
Rhod Gilbert's best bits when he bothers to turn up
Sport and the British - Clare Balding's series on Radio 4. 30 x 15 minute episodes so you'll not miss too much when the kids inevitably start squabbling in the back.
Sorry, should say it's an excellent sporting and social history of Britain.
