I have a feeling that GiP support for podcasts has been withdrawn, but here 
are four recent examples which you can download directly.

Three of them are Radio 4 and one Radio 3.  If you download the .m4a files 
using GiP and the following PIDs the sample rate is 48kHz, so the BBC is 
using both, which seems crazy.
