Here's the how-to on audio scheduling:

10 hours is the amount of time each week that Strypey said the global radio
people suggested we might like to fill on the global stream. 300mb is my
estimate for how much space, 10 hours of good quality audio will take up.
This 10 hours would be in 2 hour slots across 5 days I think so in theory we
could upload shows one day at a time but I think any system that relies on
people from all over the country getting synchronised with their uploading
is a system that is going to fail.

I will email the global radio list and see what everyone else is doing -
could be that they are going out live a lot of the time.
