My Department's websites do not use podcasts for communications purposes at present. There are no immediate plans to introduce such technology but the situation will be kept under review. None of the agencies directly funded by my Department have podcasts available for download on their websites. A small number of them will be considering whether to add this feature when next reviewing their website content and design.
