If ever there was an example of just how much Apple and the iPod have changed the world it’s the fact that this year, in addition to delivering it on TV, Radio and Online, the Queen will also podcast her christmas message.

“The podcast and online versions of the speech will become available at the same time that the speech is broadcast on TV: 3:00 p.m. GMT on Monday.

Interested listeners can sign up for the Royal Podcast now and will receive the latest episode, the Christmas speech, at the time of the broadcast.”

The Queen’s Christmas Message has been one of the mainstays of british culture for decades and for it to move to a new format like this is a pretty significant endorsement from a traditional and conservative custom.
