The Guardian is offering you the chance to download an episode of On The Hour, the radio precursor to The Day Today starring Chris Morris and Steven Coogan as Alan Partridge. But you can play it in this embedded player if you'd prefer. It's very funny.
The full edition is finally to be released on CD, as part of a collection of five 30-minute episodes, a Christmas special and the original pilot episode by Warp Records on November 24.

Only 17 minutes? Is that the Lee & Herring-less edit?
(They refused permission for their sketches on the original audio cassette release, and didn't contribute to The Day Today, because of a rights dispute, particularly with Patrick Marber)
If you don't want to wait for November 24, go to Bleep for the DRM-free download.

If you like a bit of radio comedy get The Bugle with Jon Oliver and Andy Zoltzman. Recommended.
