Especially as podcasts as essentially a form of radio broadcasting, and internet technology has already leap-frogged into TV broadcasting via general IPTV, video services, and similar. If we're going to talk pop music, perhaps we should remind ourselves of one-hit wonder Buggles - "Video killed the radio star". So with video media on the net for podcasting, IMO.
