Hi all
As I recall the original Ricky Gervais show (and some other poddies) produce
podcasts that have images associated with them - and the images change
during the course of t' cast - so it shouldn't be a great technical problem
for someone with the neccessary skills to associate images / slides with the
audio feed - and less bandwidth than a full-blown video production.
Cheers
Tim Reynolds
