Students would be interested in listening to podcasts if it was relevant to their work and engaging. One example might be the Podcast Club (http://education.podcast.com/show/34346/Podcast-Club/), which creates history podcasts. Another is a site related to snowboarding (http://snowboarding.podcast.com/episode/20980713/29973/), which could be used in physical education, physics, or anatomy classes. Music podcasts abound.
I think students would enjoy making podcasts for several reasons: hearing their own voices broadcast, playing with the technology, and (incidentally) actually demonstrating their knowledge through another medium.
I enjoy NPR broadcasts. Yes, I know this sounds like a broken record, but that's life. Fact is, I haven't had time to do all the exploring I might for podcast sites. It's on my list. After working out, but before root canal.
