Professor Mike Madison at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law has decided to podcast one of his courses - well, sort of.

"...Classes began yesterday, and right off the bat, a first-year student approached me and asked me if I minded his recording the class...."

He has allowed the student to do the podcasting for his class (and the rest of the students), but he asks some excellent questions about this new trend and there some excellent discussion ensues in the comments to this post on his excellent blog Madisonian.
