He left out Radio Netherlands, who has just about all their
programs available on download in MP3 and even some in Ogg Vorbis
(the open source/Linux codec).

Radio Aus. has a pretty good collection in their trial, too.
Late Night Live and The Science Show among them.

It's a great backup when the K index goes through the roof. But with 25
megabytes for a 55 minute show (LNL from Radio Aus.), it took about 2 1/2
times realtime to download it on my cheap dialup connection. But after
you get it, it beat the heck out of realtime streaming RealAudio, with
better sound and no dropouts and the ability to quickly fast forward and
back.

The most mindboggling thing was to burn the MP3 file to a CD-ROM and
play Late Night Live on my TV set through a $30 Sungale DVD player.
