Just heard your interview on the BBC's Pods and Blogs program. I thought you came across very well and I hope it brings some new members to Escapepod et al.
I don't know if this will make you happy or annoyed, but you aren't expected to pay for the podcast. Instead, like every BBC offering, it's available for one week and then is no longer available. Period. No way to get it, paid or free.

By making things only available for a week, they probably cut those fees by 50%.

They're supported by a mandatory yearly tax on all televisions in Britain capable of receiving their signal. Not sure how it works for radio. The Brits should be waking up around now though, so I'll leave it to them to fill in the details.
