I get this question on an almost daily basis. The answer is: it depends.
After all YouTube is quite popular.
If you're not doing anything on YouTube - Yes
If you already have a YouTube channel with real videos (not audio with a static image) I would create a second YouTube channel for the "Fake Video" (audio with a static image) episodes.
Some people try to find the perfect clip to use as a promo. This can be quite a time suck. Why not just come up with a tease, and say it into your web cam? Then explain where they can find the full episode.
A very popular web cam is the Logitech C920. DO NOT use the camera's mic (or the built in microphone of your computer). The audio from those devices is awful and audio is very important to video. I can help if you're new to video.
