Hi Norman.
I have just listened to Radio 2 successfully online with FireFox 3 on Ubuntu
8.10. (It also worked on 8.04).
I enjoy listening to Malcolm Laycocks show on a Sunday night.

I like the old time music, but I guess to you and your brother it's just
'music' :-) hehehehe

All I can think of that you need to listen to it is Flash, which you can get
here http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Hope that helps.

Colin
