Hello All. First time poster; long time lurker.
I notice that In Our Time is now a compulsory podcast, in the sense that
downloading the Thursday 9am broadcast in the usual way using the
programme ID yields a piece topped-and-tailed by the irritating podcast
marketing blahblah (especially at the end, which necessitates stabbing
at the stop button in unseemly fashion).
I prefer to hear the saintly Mr Bragg without all that, though the
podcast does have the advantage of sometimes including extra panel chat
at the end. I just pray that they don't adopt the 5Live habit (e.g. the
TMS podcast) of regularly interrupting the programme with "this is a
podcast from the BBC".
Does anyone know if there is a way round this - to get the original R4
feed? I suspect there isn't.
Thanks, Roger.

Playing the one I downloaded with the Linux Mint generic Media Player it
is a full ptogramme 41 minutes long.
You don't say which version of GIP you are using or which OS you use,
anyway the answer to your last question is yes it is. Slight disclaimer
In Our Time when I have listened to it makes me feel a tad ignorant so I
haven't listened to the whole thing.
