I think the audio quality is fine, for a spoken word session where I'm guessing you weren't able to mic everybody. As far as I'm concerned, this is a great way to spread the message from sessions like this much more widely; if you can attend in person, you get the chance to interact and ask questions; and if you can't attend, you still have the chance to listen and learn. You realise you've set a precedent now, though; podcasts of all your talks will be expected! :-) One perspective, though; speaking personally, I don't associate "podcast" with "iPod"; the first definition of podcast I heard was that it's a contraction of the acronym POD and broadcast, where POD stands for "personal, on demand". In those terms, I think the use of the term "podcast" as a distribution medium is fine. Interesting session!
