Can you buy a digital radio which allows you to listen to BBCiPlayer?

Or am I best setting up an old laptop?

An Alexa/google home device will let you stream podcasts/back episodes of radio shows if that’s what you’re looking for.

Thanks - further family discussions has decided an existing devise is cheaper and greener so we are going with an old laptop

But I'll bear that in mind for the future
