Yeah-I'm sure students would enjoy listening to podcasts, many different ones I'm sure, of course there will be podcasts that students don't want to listen to as well, just as there are books students like and dislike, movies of the same.
Yes, I think students would jump at a chance to use the internet in many of the ways we have in the 2.0 class. I still think most students use traditional web 1.0 services such as email/research/etc. and some limited 2.0 apps such as picture sharing/chatting/document collaboration. But give them a chance to produce a podcast that could potentially be heard worldwide, talk about an audience. I'm sure the quality of work, at least at first, would be to the best of the student's ability.
Personally I have not found any podcasts that are of benefit. Professionally, probably the podcast by Michigan State Superintendent for Public Education, Mike Flanagan's, it's nice to be "up to speed" on his views/ideas of things, it provides for nice talking points.
