I think that the real winners in the podcasting space will be music broadcasters or makers. You will start to get music services using this as a distribution mechanism, especially if WMP and/or iTunes start to include client-functionality built in. For the moment the music podcasters are all free (either radio show format, or individual musicians putting their tracks online), but possibly one model is a subscription service, for a set fee the service makes available a set number of tracks every month, or something similar.
A few big cheeses of the voice podcasting world will be famous enough to either charge or make money off advertising but realistically I think that music podcasting is where the real action will be once the technology model takes off.
