On Tuesday, I attempted to listen to the show on my mobile device, a 2013 Moto X running Android 4.4.4. The only way I could figure out to listen was through the player in the device's browser (standard issue Chrome 39.0.2171.93). Because it was playing through the device's browser, there was no way for it to continue playing in the background, so in effect I could not use the device for any other purpose as changing apps or even tabs within Chrome stopped the stream. In addition, if the device's screen turned off, the stream stopped.

Am I missing something?

Download the Livestream app. Search for Tom Scharpling; that's the account the episodes originate from. You'll be able to listen live; Livestream runs in the background so you can do other stuff on your phone while you're listening.

Thanks. Is that documented somewhere and I missed it?

Not crazy about the permissions the Livestream app requests.

I don't believe so. The Best Show's site was bombarded with traffic Tuesday night and a lot of people were getting assorted error messages. Someone figured out that you could listen directly via Livestream so a lot of people - myself included - listened to the show that way.

Are the Mods still at odds with Rockers?

Livestream isn't being used anymore. Working on an Android option. Should be in place by the next show or the one after that. Hang tight.

Looks like there would be some way to get it to work on the Tunein app.

For Android, I installed an app called "RTSP Player" and copied the stream link (rtsp://54.173.32.221:1935/live/myStream) as a "new camera" and it worked.
