With a friend we started having those, and we've been thinking about streaming them, but they always end up being quite chaotic. It'd be very interesting to figure out how to make them fluid enough and yet easy to follow for more watchers.
We both do some pre reading of the topic, and "pair program" through it, changing some bits and running the code to see if the current mental model still holds. The person who drives has to be very verbose explaining what he's doing ("Let's go to this function definition, ok, we see this struct here, let's leave a mark for later and visit that struct"), because otherwise, the one watching is like "wtf, are we looking at now".
We're currently going over emacs' native compiler branch and it's been lots of fun so far. The conversational interaction of Lisps makes those explorations very lively.
I'd be interested in joining, of course :)
