I agree: this is yet another way to give folks easy access to good content. Also, here's an application of your first idea: One of the benefits of WordPress is that you can clip a post, meaning ... I could clip a post for on my podcast blog after the main show notes, giving the user the option to click to read the full transcript. But for the person who doesn't want that and is on the blog homepage, he/she can save on scrolling time. I can put you in touch with Erik. Andy, thanks so much for your thoughts on this issue.

My answer: as long as it doesn't "pollute" the aethetic of the blog with reams of scroll-down-until-your-index-finger-bleeds copy, why not? Link to the transcript in a separate window and your message, albeit in a different form, has yet another chance to make a difference in someone's life. But onto the bigger question--as a guy who's spent the past seven years in mobile at Airborne Entertainment, developing dozens of apps, what do I think of one like "foneshow"? Well, my cellphone--long before Steve Jobs made is fashionable--is a multi-use device. All calling and texting uses aside, I use the stereo headphones for music, email and even conversations, and even crank up the speakers and leave it on hotel desks to play the contents of my microSD when traveling. So, adding Podcasts to the list of available "what else can I do with my phone" content is a winning combo for everyone...as long as one doesn't burn their ear off and cramp up while holding their handsets to their heads for extended periods of time. That said, it may be time to use my phone to call Mr. Schwartz... Well Bryan, you ask a question–should you publish full transcripts?
