I listen to a lot of news radio programs as podcasts. I love that I don't have fit my schedule around the program, and I love that I'm not tied to a specific program but can listen to the most interesting stuff from various stations. Including a few that aren't even in my country, such as This American Life. I've also got a few things subscribed that are "genuine" podcasts. My observations mirror your own (a few good ones/almost all are terrible). But if it works, it works really well, I've had podcasts that went on about a topic for 3 hours without getting boring. But almost none of the stuff I get this way deals with technology per se. It's mostly politics, science, sociology, history -- anything but pure tech.
