Transcode is probably just compressing the blank frames that are
broadcast along side the audio, if you extract just the audio then
you'll get the same results. I get about 350mb for a 2hr Radio 1
program (iirc).

I've put the script I use on the wiki[1], it extracts the MP3 stream
with ffmpeg and dumps it in a folder of your choice.
