Should all future GabCasts be Skype video-enabled?

[LucaParcelli]

I've been listening to a particular podcast for some time. They just decided to go full Skype video now (three spiltscreen Skype video per show). Should the GabCast follow suit?

What do you think would be added with the visual medium? What do you think would detract from the discussion?

Just curious about your ideas...

I would LOVE it if they did.  I don't think they will, but a girl can hope.  Except for MV on the GabCast, I save audio only programs for when I want to fall asleep, even if they are uploaded to YouTube, with a slide show of some sort.  There is nothing like live video, even if it's really bad.
