However, not everyone has Internet access on their phone. For this reason, offering a telephone number for such services reaches the largest number of users. NPR streams are also available via the mobile web at http://npr.org/mobile.

For one, what if someone calls? OK, I can switch calls, but what if I miss some? How would I rewind? What if I walk into a store and need to pause it? Part of me thinks that if your technically proficient enough to want to listen to a podcast then you should/would be able to bung a quick piece of software on. I suppose this could help move podcasting into the mainstream, but only as a first step. They'd use this and then want more, so they'd install the software. Just my thoughts. And yes, I know some might argue that podcasting is mainstream : ) Um, clever… but for some reason I don’t like the sound of it. For one, what if someone calls?

Any mp3 published on the Net file could be listen by such way. And podcast from the leading business news paper for example is available via such a service. We did this in Russia about a year ago.
