I am a devoted listener of the BBC Radio iPlayer and have driven/flown thousands of miles engrossed in really amazing and superbly produced performances.

I have also gotten stupidly, inexorably, and shamefully addicted to The Archers.

It always seemed entirely fitting that the Royal Navy uses failure to receive the BBC Radio 4 Today programme for a few days as one of their tests for deciding that the world as we know it has ended and that they should take out the hand written "Letters of Last Resort".

I used to listen to radio 4 constantly. I gave up, a lot of there content started to contain a militant unquestioned political slant. For example, woman's hour (which used to be really good). It seems every other segment is on why men are bad. BBC still do amazing things, it's just a shane what radio 4 has become.
