After the (wonderful) webinar, I began to work with voip a bit. Being a newbie at voip, there seems a huge range of possibilities here.
I am having a block when it comes to navigation and discovery. Say for instance I gather 100 stories from my community? How would I make this information discoverable for the phone user? I'm thinking of taxonomy and views perhaps, but would love to hear suggestions and ideas.

Re: Navigation and Discovery
Hello mwoodwar,
As you know, there's no single solution for your question. In order to facilitate access to your stories, you might have to provide ways for people to query entries according to:
* status: new / already played
* date published, starting from the most recent, etc.
* author, as in "all stories recorded by Mary"
* taxonomy term, as in "stories associated with arts, education, sports, jobs, etc."
* location
However, rather than implementing all of the above options, I'd try to stick to 1 or 2 options and make sure they are really usable from a phone navigation perspective. Nobody likes to listen to multiple layers of voice menus...
Depending on the community interest, one idea would be to implement a "VoIP Drupal version" of the audioblog module. That's probably a good way to explore the different navigation methods described above. What do you think?
Sounds good
Do you mean to make a blog content type that has an audio record/phone record field? The only references I found to the audioblog module were from 2005-6
