PSA: City Messengers: Still Pedalling? on Radio 4 at 11am

Radio 4 Linky

Got my tea and toast, and just waiting for women’s hour to finish.

There is also The Bicycle Diary’s on the World service

they’re overdoing the grim music a bit aren’t they…

Now I remember why I don’t listen to Radio 4. It’s soo depressing!

Even though it was interesting R4 somehow make it very very depressing!

And that was The Guardian’s recommended listening choice!!!!

Oy – don’t spoil it iPlayer booting up right now.

Once I’ve calmed down from the fall out caused by one of my empire building, information hoarding, misdirecting colleagues.

twas a bit depressing but in an interesting / car crash / voyeuristic kind of way 🙁

anyway of downloading it into mp3 format so i can listen on way home rather than office

Play using Audacity and output to MP3

ok, i’ve downloaded audacity, but how do i get bbc site to play through it? It only wants to open its own iplayer window. sorry to ask what might be a simple question

I don’t know because I’ve never used it and I’m on a mac, but I’m lead to believe that Audacity can pick up the sound going to the speakers and record that to MP3.

So as a guess, start audacity, look for something which says record sound to MP3, get that going, then start iPlayer and get the programme started. Once the programme has stopped, go back to Audacity and stop that.

HTH

Cool. thanks. think i’ve got it working. will have to check in a bit to see if its recorded anything but the bars are moving up and down when people talk etc. thanks

The IT Nazi’s have stopped us from listening to R4 on the web at work now 🙁

how will they buy their coke?
