From what I've read in the past BBC (any tv/radio show) will be hard if not impossible to support. There is an excellent (or so I've heard) tool called get_iplayer. [1] [2] It is available in Debian-based systems from the get-iplayer package. It can be used to listen to the link you've provided:

$ get_iplayer  --type=radio http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00mq4b3

$ file Inspector_Ghotes_First_Case_-_Episode_1_b00mq4b3_default.aac
Inspector_Ghotes_First_Case_-_Episode_1_b00mq4b3_default.aac: MPEG ADTS, AAC, v4 LC, 22.05 kHz, monaural

The URL is the one from the "Listen now" link, that triggers the pop-up window.

I'm closing this bug as there is nothing that can be done. Even if possible it will take too much time and work to support BBC. At least for the current state of Linterna Mágica as a userscript. Sorry.
