Thanks for the feedback, Bob.
I definitely agree that video has gotten simpler overall, but it does take more time in comparison to putting together an audio only product.

However, sites like Livestream, http://livestream.com , do make the process much easier.

All the while recording the whole process for later playback as a complete show. Amazing!

video is not hard work. check out You Tube. They just turn on the camera and start a conversation that continues in the comments. Also, a very simple video is just putting together a series of short clips or even jpegs with an audio background. This is how the professionals do it. Just analyze some news shows on TV. The biggest time in doing video is rendering it into the file. But, then again You Tube does this automatically.
PS,
thank you for mentioning me in the show as people that started with podcasting
PPS,
The same holds true as when we started podcasting. It's all about the conversation. It's just done differently nowadays.

I'm glad that you liked it, Paul! I found a lot to think about in it myself.
You'll probably see some of my ideas incorporated into the network over the next few months.
