Late Junction is a programme on BBC Radio 3 that has been running since 1999.

When I created this project initially, the BBC had archived playlists going back to 2004, either in plain text (for older episodes) or a more structured format recently. Now they only show episodes back to 2007, and don't have playlists for all the old episodes. This project uses screen-scraping, and keeping the scrapers up to date with the BBC's changing website isn't much fun, so the last available episodes here are from 2016.

Hence: this mini-site is an archive of all playlists from 2004 to 2016, parsed into a common format. It's a static site, but the Ruby code is available from the dynamic-site tag.

There's no particular reason for this, I just thought it would be fun! If you find any issues (there will be many, many issues, both due to irregularities in the way these have been displayed on the web page, as well as my own mistakes), please let me know.
