This is fab! I am a great fan of In Our Time and as someone else said,
the programmes would certainly be suitable additions to some of our
articles.
I agree with others that a first step should be to see if they will
license the programmes in accordance with Wikipedia's content, ie for
upload to Commons. If not, I can't really see how we could use the
content more directly than merely to provide an external link.
If they were on Commons people would be able, I assume, to use clips
of the shows in articles for which the whole programme isn't relevant,
which would be marvellous.
