    I just tried it. All I have to say is, Pwn. Seriously. If I didn't have my iPod, or say I was on vacation and couldn't update my podcasts because of lack of computer, I could totally just call this line to get my GeekNights fix every evening.

    It's not a 1-800 number, so I presume it's not toll-free? The main site (from the half a second skim I gave it) didn't say anything about cost; do long distance charges apply?

    Podlinez is a free service that lets you listen to podcasts on your phone.

    Free? Interesting I wonder how long it will remain so.

    That the service is free does not mean the call is. If it is to a location outside your local service area, you can bet your ass that the phone company will charge you for long distance, even though the content provider does not.

    You can also bet your bottom dollar, or your sweet bippy, if you prefer.

    Huh...true. Wouldn't work for me but someone will find that useful. Someone should test it and report back. :D

    Anyone know why they are offering this service?

    Also! LAWL, there's a podcast called "Open Source Sex" in the Most Popular section. XD

    Or you get a calling plan that allows unlimited long distance calls from home. They really aren't that expensive.

    Or, you get a cell phone. ^_~ I haven't had a land line since I graduated high school.

    Maybe you should do this for your house. Here is to hoping that they will decide to make Skype free next year.

    Truly, I can not see that happening in the foreseeable future. One day...
