Skype recently announced an early preview of Skypecasts - with which you can host live, moderated conversations with up to 100 people from anywhere in the world.

Skypecasts enable people to discuss shared interests — anything from classic cars and cooking, to home design and computer support. Skypecasts are moderated by the ‘host’ who is able to mute, eject or pass the virtual microphone to participants when they wish to speak. Hosting or participating in a Skypecast is completely free.

Update: I joined the The Ricardo Gonzalez Show LIVE!!! just now and surprisingly the audio quality was very good even on my crappy cable connection. It was fun listening to the guys talking even though Skype booted me in the end (must’ve been my connection).
