Internal Revenue Code podcast project

A tax law professor has launched The Complete Internal Revenue Code Podcast Project, with the goal of making the entire Internal Revenue Code available via podcast. Jack Bogdanski has already released code section one, recorded today, spanning 36 minutes and three seconds, according to TaxProf Blog. "I could not think of a more worthy internet project than to record a reading of the Internal Revenue Code for those who love to download mp3's and play them back on their iPods," Bogdanski wrote. "You've heard of books on tape? How about tax law coming through those earbuds? Let's kick it with Title 26, people!"
