This pilot project began with a podcast on biofuels. Users can download the podcasts to their desktop and play it through QuickTime or Windows Media Player. They can also subscribe using iTunes or using non-iTunes alternatives. Future subjects for podcasts include a history of the Budget and an audio tour of the Commons Chamber focusing on the Despatch Box.

New contemporary virtual tours of the House of Lords Chamber and the House of Lords Library went live in February. Using Flash Player, the tours give 360-degree views, with highlighted areas of interest that use images, audio and video.
