I have been hooked on the BBC Radio 4 show, In Our Time; the wildly varied subject matter, engaging guests, and fluid, effortless erudition of host Melywn Bragg combine to make me feel good about being ignorant — if I was a know it all, I wouldn’t have In Our Time to look forward to every week.

However, their archive is terrible. It’s all there, yes, but in human-hating Real Audio format, not the useful MP3 that the podcast is delivered in. It’s also unhelpfully broken up by subject matter, where a sensible person wants to hear them in the order broadcast. I would like to create a complete archive, and thanks to friends, I have the following available. It’s incomplete, only reaching back to 2003, and there are some shows missing from 2008, as well, but hey, it’s a start. They’re zipped up by years, because it’d be too much of a pain in the ass to try and download the episodes individually.

Share, and enjoy.
