GiP v2.93 / 2.94- snafus

[J K.Eason]

 I have a desktop shortcut with the following target line in it:
 
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /k get_iplayer.cmd --type=radio --tree >
"C:\<required destination path>\Radio.txt"

(Above all on one line with '<required destination path>' replaced by
your required location, of course)
That runs GiP and produces a formatted text file 'radio.txt' with the
list of new programs since last update followed by all available programs
grouped by title. I have the same for TV listings with --type and
filename changed to match. You can then look through the list with a text
editor and select the required ones to download.
Note that you'll get a blank command window until the run completes as
the output is redirected to the text file.
