<div dir="ltr"><h1>BBC Radio Explorer: a new way to listen to radio</h1><p>The BBC has quietly released a prototype service called <strong>BBC Radio Explorer</strong> (see <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/explorer" target="_blank"><font color="#0066cc">http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/explorer</font></a>) </p>
<p>The service is the result of "10% time", a loose concept that allows the BBC's software engineers time to develop and play about with things. Unusually, this one is visible to the public, if you know where to look. But, with a quiet announcement on Twitter and no press release, you'll be forgiven to not know it exists. That's by design: since it's not finished: every page tells us it's "work-in-progress". </p>
<p>BBC Radio Explorer is a relatively simple idea. Type something that you're interested in, and the service plays you clips and programmes that it thinks you'll like: one after the other. It's a different way to listen to the BBC's speech radio output, and it should unearth a lot of interesting programming from the BBC. </p>
