Either:

1. You see a podcast you're interested in

2. You go to the BBC's website

3. You discover you need to download BBC Sounds (if in the UK)

4. You download the app

5. You register with a username and password (and UK postcode, which narrows you down to the street where you live)

6. You press play and start listening

or

1. You see a podcast you're interested in

2. You press play and start listening

Wouldn't anyone prefer #2? Including the BBC's programme makers?

Yes. thats why the podcasts are available on wide range of services not owned by google, for example my preferred client at the moment, spotify.
