Another vote for get_iplayer. Theres much more stuff available via
iplayer than there is on their podcast streams, and anything that is
podcasted will be on iplayer too. I only discovered it last week and
it's brilliant. It's a command line jobbie, not a GUI, but that means
you can cron jobs to download anything you're interested in offline
(both radio and TV).
