It wouldn't be impossible, it just might not be how you want to present the show.
There was a short span when PokerRoad Radio did live video of their shows on UStream. During the World Series, the PRR did truly live shows, so the video matched the podcast form. But on other stops, the video provided a glimpse behind the curtain of PRR's production process. If they recorded the interview, then recorded the first segment, then recorded an intro and outro after that, we saw all of it. Whatever banter they engaged in off-air, we caught that, too.
I distinctly remember an episode at the 2009 LAPC when tournament play ran late. In fact, I think they were playing down to a certain number. Scheduled interview guest Erica Schoenberg was still going strong so the guys had to wait until play ended before they could continue the show. The video camera kept rolling. During the downtime, Ali Nejad and Kristy Arnett played heads-up HORSE, then Joe Sebok took Kristy's seat against Ali. So we viewers followed the poker on our Full Tilt clients and watched the trash talk on our video streams. Meanwhile, Amanda Leatherman chatted with all of us watching on UStream. Of course, none of those shenanigans showed up on the episode (Feb. 23, 2009) but it provided more entertainment to the diehards who went to the video stream.
But again, this is a matter of preference: it comes down to whether or not you want to quite literally show the seams of your show.
