Pluggd sounds cool though. It's hard to tell exactly what it is because it's in pre-launch right now, but Alexander Castro - the guy behind Amazon's Mechanical Turk - says that it's a community podcasting tool that goes well beyond Podshow or anything else out there.

Pluggd is accepting applications to be part of the beta. I've put my name in and am anxiously awaiting my invite.
