Listen back to the last 7 days of radio from the UK’s best loved stations - including Capital, Heart, LBC, Radio X, Classic FM, Smooth, Capital XTRA and Gold. You can also discover thousands of the world’s best podcasts just by asking.
7-Day Catch-Up We’ve got everyone from Chris Moyles to James O’Brien, and Roman Kemp to John Suchet all available to listen back to via the Global Player skill.
Just ask Global Player to play your favourite presenter, and sit back as we play the latest episode of their show from beginning to end. Want to listen to a specific show? You can add dates to your request, for example “ask Global Player to play yesterday’s Chris Moyles show” or “ask Global Player to play Nick Ferrari from Thursday”. When a show is playing, you can skip ahead by saying “ask Global Player to fast forward 30 minutes”, go back in time by saying “ask Global Player to rewind 5 minutes”, or even go to a specific point in time by saying “ask Global Player to jump to 1 hour and 30 minutes”.
Podcasts Thousands of podcasts live on Global Player - from our fascinating Global Originals including David Walliams’ Marvellous Musical Podcast and Case Notes, to worldwide smashes like Serial, Dirty John, The Daily and loads more! Want to listen to your favourite Global radio presenter’s podcast instead of their entire show on catch-up? Simply add the word ’podcast’ to your request, e.g. “ask Global Player to play the James O’Brien podcast”.
