Not sure, but I don't think so. It costs bucks to maintain a toll-free line. I'd say either buy a telephone card (they're dirt-cheap) or stick to e-mail.

I can't say. I simply email because if I call in, I'll be rambling for hours....

Most of these podcasts go through the internet phone services that give you free (or at least cheap) messaging service. I believe they are free if you don't want to be able to set your own welcome message or have other features. The message you get can then be downloaded or emailed to you.
So, although the shows can be from all over the world, most of these messaging services are in a couple major cities. If you are lucky enough to be in or near one of these major centers and the podcast you want to call uses that service, you have a local call. Otherwise you have to pay normal long distance. I happen to be lucky, since I live in or near Seattle and many of them use a service with a 206 area code (which is Seattle), but I don't like to call and leave messages so it doesn't really matter.
If you are long distance there is always the option of recording your voice message on your computer. You can then post it somewhere and email them a link to it (to be nice to them) or you can attach the mp3 of your voice to the email and send it directly to them (which could be a strain on their email service). There are always ways to get your message out there if you want it.
