It certainly is a good idea, if not original. I remember making an LJ phone post from the top of Mt. Si in Washington a few years ago. Your audience gets a much better experience of the moment, and of you. You can create more human value, that is, a higher-bandwidth human connection.
On the other hand, it makes the blog reading experience discontinuous. At least for me, this is a big cost, because it costs a lot of my time and attention to change modes. Also, you can't skim a phone post, or a moving video post for that matter. And if the audience doesn't have speakers or headphones plugged in, or is in a public space, they may just skip the content. Having a transcript a la LJ helps with these faults, but does away with the advantages of the medium. It'll start being interesting when we stop caring so much about blogs and CMSs and IMs and eMail, and gather all the clever little ideas we've come up with and put them at the service of, that is, structure them around, human communities and human ends.
