My octogenarian friend in Turkey is bereft as BBC has withdrawn SOunds access in Turkey. The BBC says there is an alternative on BBC.com but she can't see/find anything. Any ideas?

Would using a VPN help ?

I can't get BBC.com because it reverts to .co.uk but she should be able to log in to it

 

She should be logging in to BBC.com/sounds

Ignore that, just BBC.com

I've just used my VPN to trick the BBC's server into thinking that I'm in Istanbul.  As I see it . . . 

. . . go to https://www.bbc.com/

At the top of the page there are a set of tabs, reading 'Home', 'News', 'Sport', etc from left to right.  Click on 'Audio'.

A new set of tabs will then appear underneath the original ones.  Click on 'Podcasts' or 'Radio', as required.

Note that the only radio channels available there though are BBC Radio 4 and BBC World Service.  To access other BBC stations, simply use a third party service, such as this one:
