Wogan launches podcast

Terry Wogan is launching a weekly podcast of the best of his BBC Radio 2 show.

The Wake Up To Wogan podcast launches on Tuesday and gives Terry's fans - affectionately known as TOGs (Terry's Old Geezers/Gals) - the chance to hear the genial Irishman via their MP3 player.

The weekly compilation features speech highlights from the nation's most popular breakfast show, including listeners' e-mails and Pause for Thought.

Wogan said: "Every week you can download all the usual, highly-crafted, carefully wrought banter onto your MP3 player - without all that unnecessary music getting in the way of all me best lines.

"I've given up trying to beat 'em, so now I'm joining 'em and I'm going to do it better than all the others. Look, Ma - I'm TOGcasting."

Listeners can sign up for the Wake Up to Wogan podcast at bbc.co.uk/radio2, where they can also listen to Terry's show on the BBC Radio Player.

The podcast is part of a BBC trial that runs until the middle of the year.

Wake Up To Wogan, weekdays from 7.30-9.30am on Radio 2.
