Listen to the Kompoz Podcast with Any Phone (but why?)

I get Google Alerts when Kompoz is covered in the news, on blogs -- just about anywhere on The Interwebs that Google crawls. Today I was notifed that Kompoz is now on PhoneCasting.com, a site that lets you listen to podcasts by calling a phone number. Apparently, if you call +1 (646) 912-7930, you'll hear the latest Kompoz Radio podcast -- all 30-some minutes of it.
I tried it out and sure enough it works. I just don't get the business model. As entertaining as Mike and I are, I can't figure out why you'd would want to dial a long distance number and hold a phone to your ear for 30 minutes, when you could hear the same podcast online for free (and with much better fidelity).
Cool idea, but scratching my head. If you've got minutes to burn on your wireless plan, check it out.

That's why they climb mountains.
I guess I could use my Time Warner Cable phone that gives me long distance free...and listen on a speaker phone tied into a Bose sound system.
Of course that's why I don't climb mountains, don't have to just cause it's there.

As tickled as I am about being in more places, I too cannot see the purpose in this. It reminds me of something you would see back in the IT bubble days of venture capitalists throwing money at any idea that's presented no matter how crazy..
