I must say, the University of Melbourne Law School has been podcasting since last year, and audio-streaming lectures for years before that.
Actually, it is a great resource. We can't all attend every class, and is great to use to catch up, or even go over something you didn't quite understand the first time.
Re Socratic method: my brother, doing first year Macroeconomics, told me a funny story about what happened when his lecturer discovered the podcast didn't record properly. He wen't back to his office and 'lectured the wall' for an hour, so that kids listening at home didn't miss out. Ahh, the world we live in!!!

Thanks for the mention of CALI Radio and Classcaster. To clarify a bit, Classcaster (www.classcaster.org) is actually the platform that CALI Radio runs on. Classcaster is a telephony-enabled blogging and podcasting system that provides authors with tools for posting not only traditional blog articles but also tools for podcasting and sharing any documents and/or files with students and communities. At the moment the Classcaster system is availabel for use by faculty and staff of CALI member schools. We plan on releasing a version for the general education community and others in the coming months.

Personally, I'm looking forward to classes being available on podcast. As a 2nd year law student, I would take advantage of the service. The purpose is that students learn the material. If technology can help facilitate that goal then we should embrace it.
