"Why have you removed the music from some podcasts? "

Unfortunately, the rights situation is very complex around the use of music within podcasts. Currently, this means we do not offer any podcasts containing full length commercial tracks.

We are able to include short clips of commercial music in some podcasts, and a number of BBC podcasts also contain full length songs from unsigned artists.
