Could somebody record this? I don't think I can access but would like to hear it as well.

And thanks TMark for announcing this.

[Seeing they have quite a few of their programmes available as podcasts maybe there is a chance that they'll make this one available, too.]

It will be available from here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/programmes/ ... umentaries , but only for 7 days.

Thanks, TMark, for posting this! I hope I'll be able to hear it, too.

just lessened to it via Ember's link.

It was a nice program. They should do this more often They even went to the Netherlands to visit the European Go Center.

Yeah, it is. Jordus, please take down those. The BBC even let you listen to it for 7 days afterwards, so no need for those except for private archiving.

Thanks! I had of course missed it earlier this morning. Appreciate the link.

It was a nice program, a fairly standard Radio 4 affair. No specifics on how to play Go, just tasteful introduction to the culture and the surroundings. The only thing I'd quibble with was the impression that computers can't play a decent game of Go. Out of date talk! Overall - an impressive program.

(oh how I hate to start a copyright thread...)


Wrong !!

It just means it hasn't been caught (or reported) yet.
