... Your predicament is due to a fault inside get_iplayer (but down the line it's more of a BBC c*ck up 😞 ), the perl script inside GiA which handles beeb fetches... More precisely, programme version podcast2 is NOT included inside GiP's default version list, so that version is not tried by the script in an automated fashion; but it can be explicitly requested by the user...

Please read related entries in the get_iplayer support forum (which isn't open for GiA users, though...):

Addressed in a later version of get_iplayer, and incorporated in 1.17.
