BBC Radio 3 podcast quality

My experience with podcasts is that they are edited down from the main programme and always of a lower quality than the original.

Now, on the 320kbit/s vs 128kbit/s, whilst there is a difference, I do not find the difference as stark as with the "Concert Sound" lossless stream which was running during the Proms.  THAT brought a new dimension to my listening!

Wish that was available again...

On BBC Radio 3 last week, the Composer of the Week was Puccini. Donald MacCleod interviewed Antonio Pappano in between the various clips. All these interviews are available as a Podcast which I have downloaded. The audio quality is 128 kb/s while the original broadcast is 320 kb/s. The quality difference is not critical in my opinion as it is mostly speech but I would be interested to know if podcasts can be downloaded at a higher quality.

I think that there has been an answer to a similar query in the past but I can't locate it. Any thoughts or guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks
Simon Morgan
