Thanks to American Dave Winer for pointing out that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth has her own podcast feed. If there’s been any publicity in the UK about this I’ve missed it. Gaun yersel Bessie! The Queen’s English from the horses mouth. She’s in her eighties now so she’s probably one of the oldest podcasters around too. Great to see part of the British heritage keeping up-to-date with changing technology, we already know that Andrew bought her an iPod a while ago. The Commonwealth is still nearly two billion people right around the globe so using the web for Royal Family messages makes bloody good sense. Maybe like Adam Curry’s sign-off sound of a lighter click she could just rattle her jewelry. One supposes that my podcatcher and I would receive the traditional Christmas message when it’s officially released, so sign up now in good time. Come on folks, let’s help push Bessie to the top of the iTunes charts where she belongs, it is your civic duty to subscribe. God save (to hard disk) our gracious queen.
