I'm assuming the "in suspenders" part is either Monty Python or Fawlty Towers (normally people would say "don't keep us in suspense"). But the rest of the question is serious. What is it you do with Idle that lets you listen to the radio reliably? I'm guessing this is streamed over the internet and you're getting around some stupid limitation, but I second Steven's request that you share your tricks!
