Podcasts via phone

Podcasts are now available by phone at PhoneCasting.com

Why would you want to do this? Convenience, for one. No need to download anything to your computer or mp3 player. You're more likely to carry your cellphone than your music player. And phonecasting is perfect for short podcasts such as news headlines, sports reports or health messages.

PhoneCasting.com has a variety of channels. Select what you want to listen to, and enter its phone number into your speed dial. If you don't see your favorite podcast, you can add it.

That's what I did with Scientific American's "60-second Psych. I went to the sciam.com website, and found the page with the podcast. I right-clicked on the "RSS" logo (in which is embedded the podcast link) and selected "Copy link location."

Then I went back to the phonecasting.com website and pasted the link into the search box - and voila! Up popped the phone number. Here it is, in case you want to listen:
+1 (360) 526-6291

Not only can you receive podcasts by phone. You can upload your own podcasts to phonecasting.com. Now you can give your listeners a choice - to listen online, on music players, or on the phone.
