Selecting a podcast / BBC Listen Again

Some radio stations allow you to listen to programmes that have already

been broadcast. The BBC's Listen Again service is an example of this. In

addition, radio broadcasters and individuals may make programmes which

are intended normally to be downloaded into a computer or copied onto a

portable media player. These are commonly known as Podcasts.
On your radio, both Listen Again programmes and Podcasts are grouped

together as Podcasts, and the same menu is used to access and listen to

both types of programming. Listen Again programmes are also accessible

via the Stations menu (see pages 20-21).

1. Press the Menu button to enter the main Internet radio menu. Rotate

the Tuning/Select control until 'Station list' is highlighted on the display

and then press the control to select.

2. Rotate the Tuning/Select control until 'Podcasts' is highlighted on the

display and then press the control to select.

3. You may then search by location, genre, or using part of the name of

the podcast. The searches operate in exactly the same way as when

searching for a conventional radio station.

Searching by location is done first by continent, then by country. You

may then list 'All shows' or search within a country by genre.

Searching by genre is more direct, since once the genre is chosen

the next menu display shows a list of available podcasts.

Searching by name operates in the same way as when searching

for a named radio station, selecting the '

' symbol when you have

entered the text. You may enter one or more pieces of text which will

be used for the search.

4. Rotate the Tuning/Select control and then press the control to confirm

your chosen podcast. The display will show 'Connecting...' while it

finds the new programme.
