You can listen retrospectively once the programme has gone out here, should you wish to by any chance.
And while we're about it, I recorded the commentary for a very interesting hour-long tv programme about the influential architect Andrea Palladio which will open a season on the Renaissance on BBC4 at 9pm next Wednesday 17 Dec. There's even a vineyard in it, associated with one of his beautiful classical villas in the Veneto.

I recorded a few – six, I think – brief items on wine for the BBC Radio 4 programme Woman's Hour with Simon Parkes in early autumn. Two or three have already been broadcast and I was given no notice of their transmission dates, but I am told that the segment on 'heavy reds' (sounds so appetising...) will be broadcast at some point tomorrow morning, Wednesday 10 Dec, between 10 and 10.45 am.
