Why will some radio programmes be available first on Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Sounds after broadcast?

Since we launched Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Sounds we’ve had a number of podcasts either available first or only, on Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Sounds, giving listeners easy access to them on the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµâ€™s own digital platform.

We have also made a small number of our radio programmes available for on-demand listening first on Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Sounds. We want more people to use Sounds to listen to their favourite Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ audio, and to easily discover more content from the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ.

These radio programmes will be available to stream on Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Sounds via the website, mobile/tablet app TV app and on smart speakers. They can also be downloaded via the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Sounds mobile/tablet app. 

The programmes can then be downloaded on our website, and made available to listen on other platforms a month after they are first on Sounds.

I can't install the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Sounds app, how can I listen to Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ exclusive programmes or podcasts?
