What's the trick with the RTBF links? I can't find the actual link to play the recording. Thanks for what you do every week!

You are welcome! Thanks for reading. With the RTBF pages, you have to press the rectangular blue button that says "Ecoutez" (Listen). It's usually somewhere on the left, not too far under the line with the date of the page.

Hold the phone: something has happened to the RTBF streams. Now when you can click "Ecoutez" it only reads the text on the page. I wonder if all of their streams are now live only and no longer listen on demand. I will see if I can find out.
