Problem with that is that it's not just radio. They'd be wrong if they branded podcasts as 'radio' for example
Can only see this ending with it being rebranded back to radio in the not too distant future.

Omg yeah it's like BBC and it's like BBC Radio and BBC Podcasts but they're so different. Radio isn't a podcast, hell no. Podcast isn't radio. But what isn't different? They're both totally sounds. I know right, and they're both on the BBC, both sounds, both BBC.
BBC Sounds...
I know right totally.

Yes, but I suppose with iplayer's video offering expanding fast and it's radio content starting to do the same it could be a unwieldy brand. The two had started to diverge a while ago
I sense its a bit of empire building, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Having a specialist platform/brand can be better than one that fits all
It's a shame the BBC didn't already have an overall brand for their media player that would bring all their audio/video content together.

Podcasts and radio are different things though. There's some cross over but they're different mediums - a different style and format, different delivery mechanism and listened to in different ways. They're going in for podcasts big time at the moment, which is something they weren't allowed to do until fairly recently. IPlayer is doing the same with content that's Internet only
Combining them together makes sense, if I want to listen to some comedy I don't have to go to bbc.co.uk/radio and bbc.co.uk/podcasts, or seperate apps on my phone. I want to be able to search all that's on offer, whether it's Just a Minute or Fortunately
The name has to be something that isn't either - Sounds is a perfectly fine name, I'm not sure what else it could be, iPlayer Audio sounds very generic and dull
