I have done phone recordings of sessions for others. They seemed to turn out OK.

Speaking for myself, I enjoy podcasts, but for this, I would think a simple video would be better. A camcorder could be stationed somewhere that it has the whole "stage" in it's field of view, turned on while folks are gathering, and then turned off while they're scattering. That seems like it wouldn't cost much or take much effort, and I would be able to enjoy the show a little when I can't be there in person.
