Take the following:

• Her Majesty’s BBC, and all those fine artists and journalists who sail in her;
• the fantastic (in the 9th Doctor sense of the word) Speechification blog, dedicated to unearthing great chunks of BBC radio content and delivering the occasional MP3;
• Yahoo’s Easy Listener Flash tool, into which you can bung a URL and out of which you get a neat playlist of audio tracks hosted thereat;

Mix ‘em all up, give a little shake, and out pops something like this:

Yes, that’s a screenshot because WordPress.com won’t let me embed a Flash widget here. It’s a perfect little Speechification Player for you to use while reading, which saves you all that fiddly messing about with right-clicks or control-clicks and “saving as”. Pah, we say to all that. Helloooo! we smile at the Easy Listener and what it can offer us.

I’ve been going a little crazy with Easy Listener, and have built myself a little personal radio station - behold, my electric organ, combining various music mp3 blogs and now topped off with Speechification’s superb intelligent speech best-of.

If this was 10 years ago and I was still blogging with a mailing list, I’d say this was *gorjuss*.
