They won’t play so no way to know if they are good.

Please fix. I can’t hear anything

Doesn’t download

Why? Why make it unplayable for people in the USA?

The podcast itself is good (thus 2 stars) but only on those rare moments it works! Older episodes often don’t charge and overall it’s a lot of hassle to get to listen to it. When you can, it’s great. Can anyone fix the problems please?

I thought that the BBC podcasts are available worldwide. This podcast proves that to be a lie as it is only available in the UK. Why is that so? You can listen to the actual COTW broadcasts on Radio 3 everywhere. But not the podcast. It makes no sense whatever.

You press ‘play’ and the following message pops up: ‘Episode Unavailable: This episode is temporarily unavailable from “Composer of the Week”’. You click ‘OK’, and the pop-up disappears for a nanosecond before popping up again (and again, and again, and again…), effectively preventing you from navigating back to the previous window. It takes a certain kind of twisted genius (a Terry Gilliam, say, or perhaps the people in charge of May’s ‘hostile environment’ policy) to carry off such brazen and utter dysfunctionality, but the folks at the BBC have managed it brilliantly.

Still unavailable in the US. Probably best to either take it down or let us actually listen.

I’m in the USA and I can’t play any episode and I have been trying for a few months.

There has never been an episode that has been available. I’m in the USA

I’m sure this is a terrific program. If only it could be streamed or downloaded. It really should be taken out of the iTunes store if it isn’t available.

???

Plz I want to hear the episodes😢

None of the podcasts are available no matter where you are. Why bother? Most frustrating.

I listened to a lot of these last year and went back to re-listen and listen to others because they are so good and they're gone! Where did they go!? They say 'unavailable' when you try to download. Bring them back! :(

Quality BBC USA resident using subscribed VPN from UK works all the time

I was excited to discover the program, only to find that zero of the episodes are actually available. I even tried third-party podcatchers, none of which could retrieve the episodes. After this frustration, I sent the BBC an email to alert them to the fact that their podcast offering of this program contains only a catalog, no actual content, over two weeks ago with no response but an automated recommendation to check their FAQ, offering only a broken link to do so. The BBC makes great content, so I was excited to discover this program. To my chagrin that discovery has yielded nothing but frustration, as whoever is responsible for hosting the content in podcast form is asleep at the wheel.

Exactly what they say

Please don’t show this to users outside of the region where it can be downloaded unless you change the rules and let them download it as well.

Turns out it isn’t available in the US. I’m sure it’s wonderful, but frustrating to not be able to get it.

Why not take this off of the Apple podcast app in the US if the episodes are not available to users here? Or of course make them available here.

Please make it available in the US!

Don’t appreciate the teaser. Please enable downloading.

Can’t download in the United States. Nonsense

Why won’t these download when I’m on the USA? I’m registered with the BBC. No explanation is given. Ah, Britain rules in secrets.

Now that I know this exists I really want to download and listen to this without resorting to a VPN client. BBC needs to release this to the world as a benefit to education for everyone.

Why is this advertised if it’s impossible to download in US? Outrageous this is allowed and completely contradicts purpose of the Store. VERY annoyed and disgusted. !!!!!! Maybe if everyone complains someone will eventually get the message.

Perhaps this is a copyright issue (listening from USA). Regardless, it shouldn’t be available in the iTunes Store here if it’s not going to work. Too sad; get excited about an episode only to be unable to listen!!

Additional info: listening from USA, please fix!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Yo! This is Baroque-n.

Because you can’t play it.

Whats the point of sharing the podcast if it can’t be played with everyone?

Every episode is apparently temporarily unavailable to download.

Each new episode comes up in my feed, but every time you try to load one, it fails and says it’s not available.

Can’t play or download the podcasts

Unfortunately every time I select a podcast, it said that it is temporarily unavailable.

Why can I not download any episodes??? Would someone please fix this problem?

Please make available to US listeners!

Episodes will show up every week but are unplayable every week. This app needs some serious work.

I would like to listen to these but it is literally unplayable. Even episodes from this week won’t load. Should be removed from the podcast app.

As other have noted this program is impossible to play- steam or download! What is the point of putting it up is no one can play it?! I feel confidant the BBC, the BBC, could fix this if they wanted to

I am a composer and very interested in the concept of this podcast. However, whenever I try to download it States “this episode is unavailable”. I have tried for a couple years and have never been able to download so I give up. PLEASE APPLE or PODCASTER FOX THIS!!!! :(

Why is this in the listing of available podcasts and why do they bother updating with new episodes if none are playable?

This podcast looks so awesome, but it won’t play...maybe because I’m in the US, not the UK! Pls make available in the US!! Ads are fine!!!

I was really excited about this podcast but it will not download. Please give us access!

Please fix all podcasts, I cannot download any one. :/

Unable to listen to more than the last three episodes. Please help.

Every episode I attempt to listen to gives an error message. Please fix! I would love to listen. Is it because I’m in the US?

Why would they still upload if they are just unavailable?

PLEASE make this avaialble outside the UK!! You can put ads on it...that would be fine!
