More podcasting comes to the BBC, both for the domestic services and
the World Service.

Thanks to Mike Barraclough for the original heads-up in the UK listeners' group.

and Paxman in trial extension

The next stage of the BBC's downloading and podcasting trial will
include experiments with hourly news bulletins, Woman's Hour podcasts
and audio highlights from BBC TWO's Newsnight. Twenty-nine more radio
programmes and highlights packages will join the trial - which allows
listeners to download shows and subscribe to regular podcasts – later
this month.

They include an hourly news summary from the BBC World Service and
Jeremy Paxman's first podcasting venture in a weekly, audio-only
download featuring the pick of the interviews from Newsnight.

The strong news line-up is complemented by a collection of flagship
BBC Radio 4 programmes, with podcasts from Woman's Hour, Start the
Week, Broadcasting House, Today in Parliament and Front Row amongst
others. Woman's Hour - in its 60th year on air - will offer a daily
download featuring the top item from the morning's programme. Front
Row will podcast a key interview each week, while Broadcasting House
and Start The Week will be available to download in their entirety
once a week.

BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra contribute weekly podcasts featuring the pick of
interviews, gossip (Chart Chat with JK & Joel), news entertainment
(Radio 1 Entertainment News) and unsigned music in the shape of Best
of Unsigned (Radio 1) and 100% Homegrown Mix (1Xtra), while Scott
Mills joins station-mate Chris Moyles with a daily, speech-only package.

BBC Radio 3 joins the trial with Discovering Music and a weekly speech
highlights package.

New additions from BBC Radio Five Live include highlights of football
debate throughout the week from 606 and daily highlights from Simon
Mayo in Daily Mayo.

>From BBC Nations and Regions, BBC Radio Cymru offers the BBC's first
Welsh-language podcast and BBC Radio Wales' All Things Considered
gives a weekly insight into religion and spirituality.

There is also space for one-off, ad hoc programming throughout the
trial. Jeff Randall's interview with Rupert Murdoch for Five Live's
Weekend Business programme was the first download to be offered in
this slot.

All of the programmes will be available as downloads and podcasts at
bbc.co.uk/radio from February until June. There are plans to bring the
total number of programmes in the trial to 50, with more programmes to
be added to the trial once confirmed.

Simon Nelson, Controller of BBC Radio & Music Interactivr, said: "In
extending the trial, we're offering some of BBC Radio's most
distinctive programming and a broad range of shows to cater to most
tastes. The feedback we get from the trial is helping to inform our
strategy for 'audio on demand', giving listeners the control they are
becoming increasingly used to in the digital world. Downloading and
podcasting are potentially fantastic ways for us to make our on demand
programmes as accessible as live radio always has been."
