Classic novel A Christmas Carol will be released on podcast, according to BBC News.

The unabridged audiobook of the novel, read by As Time Goes By actor Geoffrey Palmer, will appear in five separate instalments. It is one of the first free complete podcasts of a popular novel.

Penguin, who say they are extremely excited about the service, already offer a fortnightly podcast service, which has given subscribers interviews and extracts from modern writers such as Zadie Smith and Nick Hornby.
