The radio drama published through this podcast is a good range of the BBC’s output but it’s so frustrating that very few of the finalists on the BBC audio drama awards shortlist for 2019 have ever been released through the drama of the week podcast.

I enjoyed having an accessible radio ap and you’ve gone and ruined it! The new site is difficult to navigate and apart from the archers all my favourites have gone missing. I liked looking through the programs for the day and adding the ones I wanted to listen to to my list. You’ve removed that option. If you haven’t removed it you’ve made it impossible for me to find. STOP MESSING AROUND WITH THINGS THAT WORK JUST FOR THE SAKE OF IT.

Indigo carries on telling the story of Dr Helen Ash and Freddy Fuller the mystery is gripping and urgent ...

Absolutely rubbish compared to the old BBC i Player Radio App..... Soooo user Unfriendly. Well done a truly backwards move !!!

What’s all this silliness concerning I player and sounds? Sounds is superb.

This app is so long winded. What was wrong with the old BBC Radio app?!

Worst app ever and deserves minus stars. Have you never heard the saying If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it? iPlayer Radio was anything but broken, but oh no, you had to get rid of it and upset millions of listeners.

I don’t like bbc sounds. The previous iPlayer app was so simple to use but this is not.

For goodness sake get a grip and do something to simplify this platform. Radio 4 iPlayer wasn’t broken and why on earth replace it with a substandard mess. BBC should be ashamed to put Sounds in the public domain. I have had to rate this post to publish but it doesn’t deserve even on star.

How dreadful to have less episodes on podcasts.

No I hate Sounds..it’s for kids and frustrating to navigate.

I agree 100% with flower deligjt. Please please listen.

The app need work!!

I’ve been listening avidly to this podcast since 2010 and would rarely skip a weekly offering. However the stories over the past year has deteriorated enough that I will probably unsub shortly. What changed?

It really isn’t easy trying to work out how to download a play/ drama that is of ant sensible length or indeed a series - I am deeply confused between podcasts Bbc sounds and i radio.

This podcast has got so much worse in the last year or two. Now only gives first episide of a series - what's the point in that? And so few items here, when there was one a week (as in broadcast). Please don't keep pushing Sounds on us - let us get the plays here.

Since BBC Sounds came out the variety and frequency has dropped as being pushed However apple car play does not work with Sounds so I remain disappointed and frustrated. Plus we get lots of first episodes and less stand alone plays now!

I love the variety of plays the BBC dies but this app clearly isn’t the way to get them. We are being pushed to Sounds so there are fewer plays being put here, when they used to be weekly, and often as others have said it’s the first of a series and then I have to go looking for the rest. I am used to going to my podcast app and simply don’t want to go looking elsewhere. Please, please, could this go back to how it was.

Really love this & can listen to them all again & again with equal pleasure. The two main characters are both funny & poignant, brought to life by Bill Nighe & Anna Calder-Marshall. Wonderful. More please!

One of the best radio plays I’ve heard in years. Listened twice as so much going on. Gritty subject, sensitively handled. Absolutely pertinent.

Absolutely gripping from start to finish. The writing and acting in this piece is nothing short of. magnificent. Bravo BBC as always. More please.

Some dramas are sad some are funny but they are all brilliant, even the ones I do not understand have high drama. BBC shows what it can do best with every production

The dramas and plays are great but the app itself could be so much better. The app only has a small number of radio 4 dramas for some reason, whereas if you go on the website you get the full catalogue played over the course of the week. I don’t know why they select just a few for the app.

Episode quality is very hit and miss...

The last few weeks podcasts have been dire, some earlier ones were very good, to invest listening time to this on a regular basis it really needs to have a consistency. If I had only heard the last two then it would already be deleted. Come on BBC you have £5 billion in fees try harder.

Quality is a word that is often misrepresented. You are different to me but just occasionally a drama has me spell bound. So much so that I have to pull over and listen intently. This was the one! The inhumanities of the Deep South of the USA are well represented on screen, but this took me into a realm that was disturbing and frightening; how only a drama can.

Just started listening to these dramas. Love it so much that I listened to 4 of them straight off. Great. Keep them coming :D

Just listened to another truly awful 'drama of the week'

This time it was 'Polyunamous'

Back in February I listened to 'This was then'

If you are going to released a play under the title 'Play of the Week', then please make it a good one

Love all plays!! Great actors!! Great service!! Please keep going with this service. Actors bring everything to life.

An awful experience for the listener, please don’t repeat , also I do speak in sentences as do most people I know . Almost unlistenable 😡

Why can I only see one episode of this?! I really want to listen to the others! I’m really enjoying radio 4 dramas but find their podcast layout really erratic. It needs to be set out in chronological order so I can listen to the next one easily!

I really enjoy this podcast and have subscribed for a long time. They often chose plays or stories I might not have picked up on. My only issue with the podcast is often there is very little information about the plays so I end up having to go online to find out more, or using the radio app to get a description.

This is great. I've been listening for a while and almost all are really engaging. There's a variety of thrillers and other stuff to cater for various tastes. Some are a bit too harrowing for my taste but other than that I'm a big fan. More people need to hear about this; there doesn't seem to be much (any?) social media marketing, which is a shame.

Very good

Writing the Century: Blue Glory. Yet again BBC programmes with ERROR 403

What would I do without these podcasts? Excellent

Love Jamie Parker, he was Brilliant in the Henry plays at The Globe! When is the rest of the play going to be available for download?

this podcast has been late a few times,this week nothing at all,its based on the best of radio 4 and radio 3,cant be much to choose from maybe ........

Please! Why podcast half a play it is so frustrating and a waste of time, I listen when I can't sleep so when I realise I don't have part 2 it drives me crazy. If you can't put out the whole play forget it. Otherwise fantastic service.

Every time we have visitors I plonk them in the garden with my ipod to listen to these drama's whilst they sunbathe!

It keeps them occupied for ages,, and without exception,, every one becomes a fan.

Great first episode, where are the rest ???

Can't fault the quality of the production or the content, but the podcast only has a single episode at a time.

Neverwhere, for example, was broadcast one episode per day for a week- but this podcast only had the first episode. What is the point of that ? - it flies in the face of what podcasting is all about.

Avoid.

The very best radio I have listened to in a very long time animal farm as come true the pigs are in charge (banks) !!!

Last week's Drama of the Week was Count of Monte Cristo part one, this week's is NOT part 2... where do I get the rest of the episodes?

I have been a regular listener to the plays on a Friday as many times I used to find myself driving home from some far flung place & it was always something to look forward too on a long journey. Now retired & able to download each play I keep it & listen whenever.

Hope Radio 4 will always keep the plays coming each week, thanks for years of pleasure the Play of the Week has given.

My 2 star rating is generous given that, for me 9 out of 10 of the plays are bizarre or bleak or both. I stay subscribed because every couple of months, there is one to which is worth listening.

There must be many plays in the archives, enough for one a day maybe?

Great Story - I heard the start in my car and had to download, gripping!!!

You do more, we need more than one a week. Please, please and please.

What a great way to make any journey seem so quick. Keeps you occupied and can't help get sucked into the so many different stories. Don't ever stop!
