Is this a podcast or a radio show?

`get_iplayer --type radio "In Our Time"` looks good to me.

Therefore I would use `get_iplayer --type radio "In Our Time" --pvradd "In_Our_Time"`

I just add `get_iplayer --pvr` to my user crontab to run every morning at 2am. This will execute all PVR searches and download any new shows that match the search and any that have been individually queued up (using --pvr-queue).
