IMO, the best podcasting "hack" that I have found is using del.icio.us to find, create, and maintain simple podcasts. Just use the tag "system:filetype:mp3" to find only MP3s. (Hint, it also works for other filetypes.)

All recent MP3s: http://del.icio.us/rss/tag/system:filetype:mp3 [del.icio.us]

All popular MP3s: http://del.icio.us/rss/popular/system:filetype:mp3 [del.icio.us]

An example of my own podcast: http://del.icio.us/rss/thzinc/voicemail+outgoing+s ystem:filetype:mp3 [del.icio.us]

And an example of a video podcast

;) : http://del.icio.us/rss/thzinc/video+tv+pbs+system: filetype:mov [del.icio.us]

Just something I've found useful.
