Accessible podcasts

I have been thinking for some time about how we should make podcasts
accessible. I just attended a presentation by Apple on iTunes U, so I
asked the presenter.

The presenter replied that since video podcasts are essentially
quicktime files, we could do closed captioning via Final Cut Pro.
Video podcasts include powerpoints and static images that can be
synched to the audio.

Has anyone tried this solution? If so, report, please, and I can make
an appointment with our lab to try it out!

thanks
