Hi John

Thank you for your kind welcome to the list. It's great to be getting involved with people who are so keen on access to good listings as we are.

Great to hear that you think we can further improve the feed by adding things like links to iPlayer. I look forward to working with you, Nick and everyone else to work out how we do that.

Cheers
Jonathan
