The answer is yes, podcasts are popular. Even little ol' me had over
700 downloads of an interview I did a couple years ago about
collaborative writing fiction. I think the interest is a matter of
any communication format: alerting the right interested people that
it's there. And like blogs, if you get a loyal following, the repeat
readers/listeners keep you motivated to do it. I didn't used to read
blogs, but now I have about 10 that I reload daily that address a
particular topic of interest. I think that folks who ipod are more
likely to listen to podcasts, like those who commute. Since I don't,
I don't ipod. I bought a cheap one a few months ago, but haven't used
it much at all, even though I loaded it with audio books and music.
Of course it could also hold podcasts, too.
