Most of the bad ones don't last, or clean up their act, so I've not listened to anything terrible in a while. I think it's the care and attention to detail (or lack of) that makes a good podcast good. And editing can be done using tools like Audacity, so you don't need a BBC studio...

Entities like the BBC have a built-in advantage over the little guy who would like to put out a good program but he/she doesn't have the time or sufficient editing skill to do one that is polished. I've seen a few podcast producers-for-hire advertising themselves on podcasting forums and the like but many of them are quite expensive. Oh well. But I agree with your broader point that podcasters should take more care in producing better programs. By the way, I like the look of your blog. :) It's a clean and snazzy design. Katrina,
