Someone has made a big mistake?

I haven't searched extensively myself yet, but are the big mixtapes available anywhere on the internet other than the BBC website?

I'm listening from Ireland and all the podcasts since Graham Linehan have been replaced with a place-holder recording saying they're "not available outside the UK". Are they ever going to show up on this site?

Hopefully this explains my problem:

I think they're on the LiveJournal if you want them

Yeah I'm in the same boat as you samwab. There was a bit of complaining about it over on the bbc adam and joe blog last week but I have no idea who or why they decided to limit the podcast to the UK.
My guess is that it has something to do with the little snippets of music on the podcasts. Maybe the BBC has some kind of deal with the record companies in the UK but they won't allow them to distribute it wordwide as a result. Thanks Al Gore!
Anyway, last weeks podcast turned up on the livejournal today like hobbsy said so we can get it there. A week late is better than nothing I guess. I suppose someone will throw the current Ken Korda one up there eventually so we'll just have to wait I suppose. It is annoying though.
I just wish James or whoever would say something about it on the BBC blog so we know what's actually going on and if it's permanent.

Cheers for that Hobbsy. Good to know. That's decent of Nameinspace (?) to be throwing them up in the humyo folder. Thanks Nameinspace (I presume it's you). I guess I'll just bookmark that humyo page then.

Thanks for nothing, Al Gore. Hobsy and onthinice, thanks.
