Apple says that more than 35,000 podcast shows are available to download from its iTunes music store in more than a dozen categories, including health, government and education.

South Yorkshire constabulary, which believes it was the first force in the country to adopt podcasts, has produced more than 40 shows since last August. Its approach is as dry as a pre-Christmas drink driving campaign with highlighted topics including "sneak-in burglaries", "human trafficking" and "students' freshers' week".
