I download occasional BBC Radio programmes for listening to in the car.
These auto delete after 30 days due to DRM
Is there a simple way of removing the DRM or re-saving the audio file as MP3 without the DRM ?

You could try Get I Player
or have a look here.

It's going to become a larger problem in future
Bollocks
Helps if I include the details
Mozilla has released the first version of its Firefox browser to include support for Encrypted Media Extensions, a controversial World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) spec that brings digital rights management (DRM) to HTML5's video tag.
Plus Web PVR Manager - if you're running under Windows.
It makes life much easier.
One of my NAS's downloads MP3's of various BBC Radio programmes as plain MP3's they stay until I delete them. I don't know of any "self destruct" mechanisium in the MP3 specification.
I guess you are downloading via the BBCs iPlayer thing. Now that does enforce the stupid 30 days and 7 day rules. I think it also places the downloads within a DRM wrapper.
A simple way is to download using the RSS Feed URL's found at:
A bit more complex is getiplayer, I use that for downloading TV programmes to a Raspberry Pi running Kodi/OSMC media player.
BBC Podcast download is not really suitable for many radio programmes - it works fine for a lot of speech based Radio 4 programmes but if the radio programme contains much music that is often stripped out in the podcast - leaving you with just the speech bits. Bit of a cheek calling it a podcast IMHO.
And it works just as well for radio to download the simple MP3 file. (as someone else has said the Web PVR manager works a treat in windows)

This seems to have stopped working - refreshing the cache brings up 0 programmes. Might just be me?

Scratch that, installed the latest version and now OK.
I'll get it and try
I have i-player .... does get-iplayer allow download and remove DRM ?
what does Web PVR manager provide that get-iplayer doesn't ?
Yes. That's exactly what it does.
An easy to use front end which means you don't have to wrestle with the Command Line stuff in order to download Radio & TV programmes.
OK ... that sounds better, I'll take al ook
You could try Total Recorder
It's not free but I've used it for 15 years.
It records off the PC sound card or software and is also good for capturing music/speech off a microphone or USB audio interface.
