Unfortunately that goes against the spirit of the idea, ie, that the podcast is collaborative.  Are you saying it isn't practical?  If that's the case then I can't see going any further with the idea.  There are already tools that do individual 'casts well.

Not everyone will use Skype.  I won't due to a security problem they caused for me last year.
