completely unavailable?

Every time I’ve tried to listen to a story I get the message “this episode is unavailable”. Why is this even listed on Apple Podcasts?

Not a single episode is available in Russia. I’ve clicked on ALL the episodes. Nothing. Why do you show in the search filed if you don’t want people to listen to it?! And why on earth making it unavailable? People want to learn English and listen to such shows, who gets hurt by that? Stupid...Read full review »

Many episodes are not available.

Pointless to put a series of stories in a podcast app if you can’t listen to them

I’ve tried listening to this podcast several times. Each time i click on an episode, it says it’s unavailable. Please solve this glitch.

Why have this in the store BBC if not available - why not make it clear the terms of this podcast if it's available only to U.K. ?Read full review »

Can’t download despite subscribing. Very disappointing
colleen33333 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/19/19
Yes, you can download the app, no, you cannot download episodes... Maybe because I don’t live in the Uk? Ridiculous! Than don’t offer this podcast at all
robert niessen via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 01/07/19
There are more trailers than stories. I got fed up of them so I unsubscribed.

love sweet love via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/31/18
At last! A podcast to rival the New Yorker short stories podcast this side of the Atlantic. I haven’t listened to one episode where the story wasn’t engaging, enlightening and entertaining - and most are just 15 minutes long. So there’s no excuse not to give each author a try. Some real...Read full review »

I’m not able to download any of the episodes. The content looks great but worthless if you cannot listen to it. Please fix as soon as possible!
Short Story Crazy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/14/18
All these stories are rich and varied in content, style and readship. Listening to them is such a great challenge for me each time.
Rockface62 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/23/18
I get the feeling somebody at the BBC doesn't know what to do with this podcast. When it does what it says it does, it's great. But there's 34 episodes, two of which are housekeeping, two of which are repeats of stories from earlier in the podcast, and two of which aren't stories...Read full review »

This is such a wonderful podcast. Bedtime story for grown ups! Great variety of stories and new authors to learn about.
damme lorraine via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/10/18
I expect I would love this podcast if I could get it, but for some reason only a few of the episodes are actually available for download, either here on itunes or on the BBC website. I can only surmise that there must be some kind of obstacle being set up, but since other BBC podcasts work fine,...Read full review »
emmerge via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/10/18
I agree with other reviewers - this is a direction the BBC should really be developing in terms of podcasting. I've listen to about 8 episodes in a row as I've been decorating this afternoon, and every story is well-chosen and brilliantly read. The stories inspire me to get writing, too!...Read full review »

I love stories and this is a great podcast. Rich and varied.
Yeye-o via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/13/18
I cannot listen to or down load a simple episode. I have tried everything. The rest of the podcasts I subscribe to work fine. I went to the BBC page and noticed it mentioned "UK ONLY" under the description of the podcast. I am unable to download from there as well. Since I live in...Read full review »

I agree with the previous reviewer. I would really like to listen but a glitch prevents the podcast from downloading!
Linn12345678928 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/29/18
I’d love to be able to review this pod, but not a single episode is available. There is always a download error and an “episode temporary unavailable” message every single time. These story titles and descriptions sound great, but the world will never know unless something on the back end is fixed.

I'm sure the content is great, but I've been unable to stream any of the podcast's content. I keep receiving an error message saying the episodes are temporarily unavailable. BBC--please address the glitch.Read full review »

As I expected from the BBC. Thought provoking and enjoyable!
Moody by name via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/17/17
This is a great idea - it perfectly bring together the principle of a licence fee funded BBC and podcasting. The stories are a bit hit and miss, but then that's to be expected while this new venure finds its feet, and of course it's the purpose of a licence fee funded institution to put...Read full review »
