BlogTalkRadio allows users to create their own talk radio show just by dialing a number. When you sign up you’ll be given a phone number and a pin number. All you need to do is set up your segment (show) by giving a description of what you’ll be discussing and a date and time for the world to tune in. When listeners go to your host page, they’ll see a number they can call you on live during your show. You can choose to speak with them, mute them, or hang up on them. You can also choose to connect with them via IM. You can subscribe to the radio show host feeds so you’ll know whenever there’s a new show.

I decided to make a screencast of BlogTalkRadio after reading this and discovering that it was a bit confusing to get started creating a show and understanding how to make the most out of the tools they provide you with. All in all, I think it’s a really cool service. Here’s my screencast tour of BlogTalkRadio:
