Interesting concept, I would probably watch at least.
I don't have any idea how to stream on *nix  OSes so I won't volunteer for that, but if I figure it out I don't mind making a fool of myself in real-time sometimes (as opposed to pre-recorded like I do now).

I was looking over the list you had on google docs of games,
For Nlarn a lot of info is missing:
their website: http://nlarn.sourceforge.net/
OS support: Linux, Windows, OSX are all supported, and I think the BSDs are as well
Controls aren't exactly "Modern" but they're not terrible, vi keys and a nice curses menu to use your inventory and such.

For Omega:
their site: http://www.alcyone.com/max/projects/omega/
OS support: Linux I know works (That's what I play it on), Windows should as well.
it IS open source, free to redistribute, modify, etc. according to their licence.txt file.
controls are the biggest problem with the game.

New episode! We look at Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead:

http://www.roguelikeradio.com/2013/07/episode-75-cataclysm-dark-days-ahead.html

Includes discussion its new Kickstarter (very near its funding goal) and the proper word for large milk containers.

I actually grabbed the latest build b/c of this episode... I played it just a few versions ago and they've added a lot in a pretty short span of time. I didn't realize how rapidly this project was moving. Can't wait to see how much progress they make with the KS.

Happy it's been fixed. Mentioned it to Kawa on twitter and she said I should leave a note about it here (or on the blog).
Anyway about the episode itself, I haven't played the game so I can't really comment too much. Nice that you finally got around to it though, how long has this topic been in limbo?

In limbo? We were just waiting for the expansion! Or so I'll claim.

I'm not sure anyone will believe that, but you can try.

Slight issue - I only have audio from the left headphone/speaker. Quick fix was to use Audacity's "Stereo track to mono" option. As-is the right channel is silent.

New ep on Let's Play videos:

http://www.roguelikeradio.com/2013/06/episode-73-lets-play-videos.html

A cool idea that surfaced was developers recording Let's Plays of their own games, with commentary about why certain things are designed the way they are. Would give some really great insights!

Regarding recording ASCII games, I have to say it's really annoying. I lose a lot of quality because I record in ASCII. It looks fine on my end, but youtube really hates it from what I can see.
And thanks to Kawa for the mention in the episode!
