I like Podcasts, although I find the use in a math classroom may be rather limited. I would be much more likely to use youtube or teachertube to find something new and interesting to put into a class than a podcast. I have used podcasts in the past in my advisory classroom.
I had never gone to the Educational Podcast Network and was pleasantly surprised that there were quite a few that had to deal with mathematical topics. I was especially interested in the section on statistics. Statistics is such an ambiguous concept to many people and there were quite a few on there that helped solidify some ideas. I am going to go through my first few weeks of lessons for statistics and see if there are any that I can use!
Yea! Another tool for you! What about podcasting a class presentation for students who are absent? You could assign students on a rotating basis to do the podcasts so the same ones were not doing it all the time.
