Hi

get-iplayer says it removes "its recorded content" after 30 days. The website explicitly says "you must investigate this on a case-by-case basis" if you want to keep individual podcasts for longer.

But the BBC seems to say otherwise. Could get-iplayer's policy be relaxed for podcasts? (If it _can't_, I think it would benefit from explicitly gainsaying the BBC's statements).

Often the BBC podcast trailers have said something along the lines of being able to <download and keep> them. I checked the current website, and found this:

   <http://faq.external.bbc.co.uk/questions/podcasts/episode_availability>

   [Q1] For how long are podcast episodes available?

   ... Some podcast episodes will still disappear after seven days (for
   rights reasons or...

   But please don't forget that once you have downloaded a podcast
   episode, it is yours to keep forever and will not expire.
   Unfortunately, if you missed an episode and didn't download it
   within the period of availability we are not able to send you a copy.

Thanks
Alan
