Since the local Clear Channel / Baine Capital (RomneyCorp) radio stations decided to dump Air America and Stephanie Miller, I'd been itching for a way to get my fix.
I bought a one-year subscription to the StephCast, but I wanted to get it LIVE-- even though Elaine Boozler is currently covering for Steph during her well-earned vacation. (I suppose Steph is knocking back a few boxes of wine while she and her dogs try and chase the squirrels out of the house).
The hard part is, the time when I usually listen to Stephanie Miller is when I am in my car, not when I'm at home near my computer.
So, here is what I have done.
1) Before leaving the house, I set my laptop to listen to the live StephCast feed.

3) I set Phone A to "Auto-Answer" incoming calls.
4) Then, when I want to listen to Stephanie Miller,
live, in my car, I just call Verizon Phone A from Verizon Phone B and put it on speaker.
Voila!
Live streaming of Stephanie Miller directly to my cellular phone, at no additional cost to me!

It's not GREAT audio quality, but it's about as good as the crappy low-power AM Radio station that sucked so bad, they SUPPOSEDLY couldn't run a progressive station in BOSTON!
Now, if I could find a way to take the audio directly from the 1/8" audio output on my computer, I'll be happy as a clam.
