I’ve since listened to many podcasts, and found a few things that seem to make or break a podcast from the point of view of a listener. 1. Multiple voices. None of the Podcasts I currently subscribe to are produced by one person or feature a sole voice. All are either in an interview format or are the combined efforts of more than one person.

Let's say 99% suck. 1% of 1,000,000 is still 10,000 podcasts that don't suck. This is about niches, australian beer experts aren't trying to compete with Sean Hannity. People are still learning to voice their opinions into a mic as opposed to writing them. Most podcasters are first timers and have been doing this for less than six months. So, there will be fewer podcasters than bloggers for reasons you listed but I'd bet a pinky finger that podcasts in five years will be more a part of our lives than radio is now.
