The last episode of the second series of Bigipedia has aired; while it doesn't quite reach the mind-cracking brilliance of the last series' last episode, you do get to find out what happens when large amounts of red and white Chianto combine in seawater.
ADDITIONALLY
If you are looking for more silly audio diversions, you may be interested to see what the CBC has to offer. 'What?' I hear you say, 'The CBC? But their attempts at radio comedy are almost universally dreadful! In fact, that one time they tried to play Just a Minute on Go was very nearly physically painful!' I know, I was surprised too, and I know you may not believe me, but I swear I actually laughed out loud at this show. In the grand tradition of spurious news magazines, I introduce This is That – a bit like On The Hour, only gentler, friendlier, and more laid back ... a Canadian version, if you will. A lot of its success is, I think, down to how perfectly they mimic the format of As It Happens, but it should be entertaining even if you aren't familiar with the CBC's radio programming. You can work backwards through the main page, or skip to past episodes and just mainline it from start to finish.
Of course, finding it now is doing nothing to hold back my ever-increasing yen for the True North Strong and Free (and Sane and Green and Reasonable ...) but that is just something I have to deal with. Canada: It's All Around You, Unless You're Not Here.
