I think it's a great idea.  I just bought the TDD one myself and it's  
packed full of little tricks I didn't know about.  I think discussion  
following the screencast would be useful too.

Just to keep brain storming...  If we could find a couple people in  
the community that are familiar with the topic discussed in the  
screencast, maybe we could gather a panel to do structured Q&A.  If  
not, we could just open it up and let people mingle.
