Podcasts are now available by phone at PhoneCasting.com:
http://www.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 "xml" logo (this is 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.
