I am actually getting interviewed by a podcaster - but I find it hard to believe that the average person can produce a quality podcast week after week. What I would love to see is a podcasting network where folks like me could contribute occasionally.

I agree to the comment above!
I also would like the folks who like me to contribute!
If you look at all the people going into video blogging etc it's difficult to understand why they aren't podcasting instead. Podcasting growth though seems to be pretty slow (some recent-ish podcasting figures here).
I actually work in self storage and always wonder about the difference in marketing to crowds who only use your service once (like moving). I can understand how this works for music and other industries, but how can this relate to temporal markets?
