All in good time if it gets popular enough.
My current camera operator is a whisky bottle box that props the crusty old 
$10 ebay webcam up in front of my monitor on my cluttered desk. Lighting is 
whatever comes in through the window at the time.
The only resemblence of a professional staging setup is my studio USB 
podcasting mic on a desk stand. Not the best for capturing distant audio 
from though I suspect, it's designed more for close-up voice podcasting. But 
still seems to work well enough.

I have a better (but old) DV camcorder, but that's more hassle to use and 
import the video files from than the webcam.

I'm still hosting on YouTube, and I've set up a new dedicated channel:
http://www.youtube.com/user/EEVblog
The videos on my blog site are not hosted locally, they are just using 
embedded links direct to YouTube. So better to go to the Blog site:
http://www.alternatezone.com/eevblog/
Easy to leave comments, subscribe the RSS feed, and will eventually be 
better to sort through the archives etc.
