The Mancunian Candidate

The Now Show is one of my favourite programmes. It airs Fridays on BBC Radio 4 and is a satirical review of the week's news. The latest episode ended with a listener-generated list of low-budget film titles in response to the government's axing of the British Film Council. Enjoy!

You can tune into this programme and any other BBC Radio show from anywhere in the world for free. And if you miss the live transmission, all programmes are available for a week after the last live airing. And for several programmes, they are always available. You can also download the podcasts of many programmes from iTunes to access through your iDevice. Radio 3, 4 and the World Service produce the best Factual content, while Radio 7 is a brilliant source of Comedy and Drama along with Radio 4. And as I've just learned, unlike the restrictions on live football commentary even within the UK, TMS is freely available abroad! It's all worth taking advantage of while it's free.
