Live streaming I would imagine is more expensive, particularly video. You'd need two things for podcasts - members using mics (which I imagine there is in the civic chamber) and members saying their name when speaking. It wouldn't be as good as video and live streaming but it would by far fill the gap. Meetings are never that great records of meetings.
