Welllll, sorta. It turns out that the iPhone can stream mp3s through its Safari browser just like any other desktop computer. Not really a podcast per se, but it' a step closer to that dream of wireless podcast access (still hoping that either Apple adds a podcatching to iTunes on the phone).Rob at Podcast411 has gone a step further by promoting the handy little graphic above that one can use to directly link to an mp3 file. It looks sort of awkward, but it shows up great on the iPhone screen. That makes it easier for your iPhone-enabled listeners to tap and listen with less effort. Now... is it worth it? Maybe... there's about 1 million iPhones "in the wild" right now, and I suspect there are a disproportionate number of podcast listeners in that early adopting crowd. They need content... and your podcast can provide it.
Feel free to copy the graphic above if you're interested in using it for your show. The sample mp3 linked above is the most recent edition of the Nonprofit Law Podcast.
