Hi Wayne, as a database developer I spend hours collating all types of data - this is just a small part of a larger project I'm working on at the moment. The broadcast times and dates were collected from TV & Radio listings printed in The Times newspaper (1785-2006) which is now available in digital format. Most UK residents can access it online for free using their library card number. ;-)

I haven't looked at the later series of JAM yet (that's my next task) but I suspect that most episodes have had several airings over the years, first on Radio 4, then on the BBC World Service, and now, of course, on Radio 4 Extra. It's therefore quite plausible that every episode still exists "somewhere" - either in the BBC Sound Archive, the British Library Sound Archive, BBC Worldwide or an international radio station archive.
