Out of curiosity, are you using the term "podcast" to refer to something more like a Shoutcast stream? I may be behind the times but I always thought the term "podcast" essentially referred to mp3s (or other pre-recorded audio files) delivered via an RSS-type feed. Kind of the audio equivalent of setting a TV show to record and only watching them as they show up on your DVR.

I messed with live streaming audio quite a bit back in the 90's and early 00's and bandwidth/latency definitely could cause issues but I haven't seen a whole lot of interest in that format for quite a while. For better or worse, people seem to prefer that DVR/on-demand format where you get something delivered to your computer or device and then watch or listen when convenient.

The Joe Rogan Experience podcast is a reference point for me. It is streamed live on uStream. Video is put on youtube and Vimeo and audio is pushed to RSS feeds. It might be content a little less suitable to HN so Ill let you find a episode of it to see the video format but I think being the third person sitting at the table in VR would be amazing.
