Queen Podcats From the Palace
For the first time, members of the public will be able to access Queen Elisabeth II's Christmas Broadcast via podcasting.
The Christmas Broadcast will be available from 3pm on Monday, December 25th at www.royal.gov.uk.
The broadcast will be available as both streamed media which visitors to the site can just 'click and play', and as a podcast. Listeners can subscribe to the Christmas Broadcast podcast in advance, using the link on the home page, and will automatically receive the Broadcast on Christmas Day.
At 80 years old, the Queen is still informed and integrated into the latest technology. Last year she bought an iPod and according to Buckingham, she sent her first e-mail in 1976 and her coronation was the first event broadcast on live television in 1953.
The Queen will also record a message to the British Armed Services and their families, both in the United Kingdom and on postings overseas, for broadcast on Christmas Eve. This message will be distributed through the British Forces Broadcasting Service, and will also be available to listen to and download on the Web.
