The Archers is a good example - that might never happen because the actors, writers, soundFX people etc would require payment for every download (or at least a special payment in return for making it available openly forever as a podcast). These shows WILL be available to download (not as a podcast) through the iPlayer when it launches in full at the end of the year and I'm hoping they will adopt a DRM solution that will let me put them on my iPod. They will be time limited but will still be available to transfer to portable devices.
