Hello, peeps.
This is an unoffical podcast that relies on BBC Sounds and is hosted outside the UK. The BBC has announced major changes to Sounds, primarily restricting access to listeners within the UK. More details can be found here:
I'm looking at a few options to keep this service running as smoothly as possible even after the changes. However, I won’t know how feasible that is until they take effect. There’s no official timeline, so it may happen suddenly—one day, the podcast could simply stop updating.
I'll only put updates like this one in this podcast feed if they are critical. For more frequent updates on the status of the service, visit bbcsoundsrss.media.
If you have any questions or are interested in running the software yourself, feel free to email me at bbcsoundsrss@gmail.com, and I can point you in the right direction!
It's not necessarily goodbye—I just wanted to share this update so you're aware of the situation.
