It's a phone bridge, so just a phone call. The host needs the app and you would need it to see the text chat. You do need the TalkShoe account to establish a PIN though, although I set up one guest PIN for someone who I need to get in who doesn't have time or desire to register.<br/><br/>I recognize that it's high on the barrier to participation side, but honestly, it's the best game in town for what I want to do. I want a forum where anyone who feels like joining the conversation can, yet it's easy to share that recorded conversation with others easily. Not many tools allow for that. I've done ample testing with Skypecasts to know that the there is always one person with major connection issues. Plus, I'd have to record independently and do all the production and hosting myself. Blogtalkradio would be a good alternative, but I don't have a way to call in for free, so that's kind of a dealbreaker for me at the moment.<br/><br/>Thanks for taking a look.

A lot of effort for one podcast, and I really didn't want to download software that would tie me to my computer for even more time every week. I don't mean your idea isn't great... or couldn't build critical mass... it was just my first reaction. My take?
