Radio 4 does Open Source

Like many Brits, the BBC’s Radio 4 holds a very special place in my heart. After two weeks away from home, I was craving two things - a cup of tea made without UHT milk, and the mellow sound of received pronunciation washing over me from the wireless on my bedside.

Imagine my surprise, then, when late on Sunday night I heard this broadcast. It’s a niche show called In Business, and this week’s episode was completely dedicated to companies which use and produce open source software. It’s worth listening to just to hear the wonderful voice of presenter Peter Hall endlessly repeating the words “source code”. Download it here.

    The download does not work.

    I think the BBC has this nasty little habit of keeping only the last recording of each programe, so if you don’t have a podcasting client sucking every emission, you are out of luck :-(
