Busytown by Jolisa Gracewood

I've got Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency playing on a Mac (system 9.0, RealAudio8 player) with no problems -- but you may have better luck if you go through the BBC radio homepage, click "open BBC radio player" (which I gather is just a front cover for Real Audio, so you'll still need that installed), select the program (Type of Program: Comedy & Quizzes + Go), and then the title. The only other thing I can think of is that the most recent episode was broadcast on Oct 10th; if you were trying to access it on that date (or, depending on timezone, up to a day later) it might not yet have been in the archive.

Works fine for me on an iBook running Safari on 10.4. Maybe you need to update RealPlayer (or use Safari if you're using Firefox)?

BTW: when will the BBC finally give up on bloody RealPlayer? I'd actually rather they used Windows Media streaming.

Jolisa's tech. support guy here -- we were using the latest Real Audio plugin, and it crashed at the same point when we listened with both Firefox and Safari.

We were trying this on Intel based Macbook -- it is possible that works better on a PowerPC system.

Either way, I am looking forward to listening to it sooner or later...
