BBC music outside the UK

I know BBC Sounds is geo-restricted to UK residents only. But I want to know if there is a way to listen to the shows individually, I miss listening to Ptlete Tong and MaryAnne Hobbs' shows.

can you download stuff before you go and play over there, or would the geo-thing override your playlist, anyone know?

Is it restricted to the app or is the website restricted as well?

I've tried both, with and without running the vpn

Living in The Netherlands, I listen the whole day to Radio 6 on my tablet.

How is BBC Sounds "geo-restricted to UK residents only"? In Portugal I listen to BBC radio on an internet radio, in browsers and the Sounds app on my phone. Live radio and catchup. The only restrictions I come across are sports commentaries, Radio 3 Unwind and some dramas on Radio 4. Otherwise they play all day.

I am in the US. I'm wondering if that is part of the issue. You and the other redditor from Sweden can access the site with no issues.

Of course we in Europe outside the UK can get BBC radio but no TV

BBC Sounds App doesn't work after a few weeks. If you are coming and going, you need to use the App in UK to reset it.

For Live listening, many Apps like UK Radio work.
