You can use the CLI to add those different PVR Searches
under a different name:

get_iplayer --type=radio "The Early Music 
Show" --modes=best --tag-podcast-radio --pvr-add="TEMS_BC"
(BC=broadcast version)
get_iplayer --type=podcast "The Early Music 
Show" --no-tag --pvr-add="TEMS_Pod"

(I use "--no-tag" myself  because the BBC already delivers podcast files
fully tagged...)

Running manually the Web PVR Scheduler (on Win32)
fetched me first the latest broadcast episode (present in
the radio cache) and then started downloading
those podcasts (out of a total of 184!) that were not UK-only!
(All the rest ended up as "0.00 Byte" .mp3 files on disk :-( ).
The real PITA is, of course, here the excrutiatingly long
time it takes for the podcast.cache refresh (file size ca. 17.4 MB).
