As a podficcer I tend to demand writer's permission before recording, OR (mostly) to stick to writers who have given clear blanket permission. The REASON I am doing this is not to be rude, and not to risk the wrath of people with opinions different from mine, which is that...

...I don't think podficcing should requires permission (but I DO think it is only polite to ask for it, and I DO think it would be really rude not to TELL an author that you've podficced their fic - it's the difference between what would want to see inscribed in law if there were laws about this, and the customs I like to respect in my community, you know?).

So to answer your question directly: as a listener, whether the recorder asked the author's permission or not is irrelevant to me, and would not change my relationship to the podfic. At least I don't think so!
