DAB Radio

Upgrade to a DAB digital radio and not only do you get better sound quality but you'll never have to retune to get Radio 2 as all stations stay on the same frequency.

You'll also get text information displayed on the radio about the programme you're listening to and the track that's being played.

Podcasts

Podcasting lets you automatically receive the latest episode of your chosen Radio 2 programme as soon as it's available. With our current range of audio podcasts, you can take your favourite radio programmes with you on the move and listen wherever and whenever you like.

You can "subscribe" to receive a podcast, rather like you might subscribe to a magazine and get it delivered each week. All of Radio 2's podcasts are free, and you can stop receiving the files at any time. If you'd rather not subscribe, you can download episodes of a podcast series individually.

In order to subscribe for a podcast, you need an internet connection and a piece of podcast software which is usually available free of charge. Once you have installed this software, it will check the BBC for new episodes of your chosen podcast series and automatically download new episodes for you.

You can then listen to podcast episodes on your computer, or transfer them to a portable device, such as an mp3 player.
