 Hi Shareef :-)
I have just refreshed the radio.cache

get_iplayer --type=radio -f --force

and issuing

get_iplayer --type=radio "Annie Mac"

I get 20 matches:

This is with latest 3.02 script; be advised that after the demise of
the BBC .xml feeds last spring, to populate the caches GiP has to
resort to the schedule feeds; this means that only programmes
broadcast and contained inside the linear beeb services can be
indexed (and this excludes many other PIDs available in iPlayer
service itself); the above is true for both TV+Radio...

>> nothing

... This is expected for the following reasons:
1. You haven't specified programme type;
by default, only the tv.cache will be searched;
there's nothing currently in TV for "Annie Mac Live",
hence your search will return empty...
2. "Annie Mac Live" (or rather "Annie Mac Live Mix"),
pid=p05fdry0, isn't a standalone radio programme
contained in the BBC Radio 1 schedule feeds, thus
won't be found inside radio.cache.
Annie Mac Live Mix (part of Radio 1 Mixes,
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p034pnmt ),
can be best described as "audio" clip; AFAIK,
"Annie Mac Live Mix" is just an excerpt from
the last hour of Annie's Friday radio show,
provided for convenience as a standalone PID;
for previous Fri Sep 15th, full show is under

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b093ppdd

Do note that the actual programme runs for 3hr
in the player, while the info just underneath it
erroneously reports a 2hr duration...
As you may see, I had no problem finding
last Friday's episode in my cache (index=11088).

 To sum things up, you won't be able to find
Annie Mac Live Mix in the radio cache, use
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p036ggzv/episodes/player
and hopefully
--type=radio --pid=p036ggzv --pid-recursive
will work...
If you are still unable to find proper (broadcast)
shows inside your radio cache, please post back
and we'll take it from there...

Best regards,
Vangelis.
