If your phone accepts the standard head phone connection then you can connect your PC speakers! If it doesnt then you can just buy an adapter from radio shack!

For those with Sirius or XM, I still say tracking down a copy of uSirius or uXM and running it at home while you're at work to access your Satellite radio account is the way to go. Setting up a dynamic dns name as well with a company like no-ip.com makes it easier.
You'll end up using a link like http://server:19080/streams/stream?bandwid...00&r=1197582877 to access each channel and just change the num part to open different channels.
I love it. On all my computers at home it's how I access Sirius. No more need for my home dock, except if I'm looking for slightly higher quality than the streaming compression offers.
There's lots of info about these apps on sites like thegreenbutton.com

i really like launchcast, give it a try
But that's weird I've used pandora for a while here at work and then today I can't get to it, then I try AOL Radio and that's blocked too

have you tried reading the entire thread before you post? 
A good solution to me seems like running some sort of small server at home to proxy the connection to the music site. You could even customize things to allow access through ports you know your company keeps open, like port 80.
Then all you'd need to do is have a link that opens a streaming file in a media player at work, connected to your house, while your house it connected to the music site.
