Ustream is a video broadcasting site. However, there are a number of podcasts (such as WoW Insider) that use it purely for audio, leaving a placeholder image in the video window. This method allows you to use other Ustream features, such as polling the audience, during an audio OR video podcast.

Audio Only: http://www.shoutcast.com/
Ustream.tv and Stickam.com are video and audio, shoutcast is just audio.
