A government department has become the latest authority to branch out into the world of podcasts.
Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs' (HMRC) series of downloads for the iPod has been designed to provide information to people looking to set up their own business and those who are thinking about becoming self-employed.
Another new release by the department features the body's acting chairman, Dave Hartnett, answering a number of questions in an online service workshop.
Finally, a third product containing advice for businesses on tax credit entitlements and reporting changes has also been made available through the body's website.
In April 2007, HMRC was one of the first government departments to launch advice and news through a podcast service.
The format has become increasingly popular with businesses and bodies of all sizes, which are recognising the advantages of relaying advice to the public through their iPods.
Recently, financial advice website Unbiased.co.uk also launched a new series of podcasts to make people more aware of issues affecting them in the mortgage, savings and pensions sector.
