I guess I'll do a quick product plug from my impromptu effort at using UStream to broadcast our Web 2.0 discussion this week (which went VERY well, by the way).

Expect the student video to be of much higher quality, and we'll be working to get that archived in the near future.
The audio, by all accounts, was not bad at all. Kudos to Kenny and Linda in Henderson County for bringing the Telex M-560 USB microphone.
