James Cridland on Nostr: Very good news - after nine months of very, very bad communication with overseas ...
Very good news - after nine months of very, very bad communication with overseas listeners and the closure of BBC Sounds, the BBC has finally made it quite easy to listen live to domestic BBC Radio outside the UK, with a proper station directory, clearly linked from both the BBC app and BBC international website.
You could ask yourself why it took them nine months to make a webpage, but that would be churlish. But the good news is that live radio is back, and hurray for that.
(No listen-again, apart from some shows on BBC Radio 4. But there's good reason for that.)
