At our very first Orlando Likemind, I brought my microphones and recorded the conversation. Afterwards, I had no idea what to do with the audio. It wasn't really a podcast-like show, because we weren't trying to identify ourselves to people listening. It wasn't really a panel discussion, because the topics ranged all over the place. Now that Likemind is starting to have more topic-based discussions, it makes more sense to record these conversations and post them.

One problem with recording an hour (or longer) conversation is where to store it. The Internet Archive has the ability to upload and share audio files, and therefore won't hurt people's bandwidth and hosting budgets. Likemind is (I think) not meant to have any monetary burden on the organizers, so there should be a standard way for posting these. Flickr is used for the photos farily universally I think.

One of our participants also has a Stickam account, and we had a live video stream with a chat going at our last event. This was useful to me, as I was stuck at home doing some chores at the time. I could participate and listen in on the conversation without needing to be there in person.
