I know there are mailing lists via Yahoo for podcasters (I am on them) but to be frank I rather enjoy a PHP forum without the ads and email restrictions.
Check out Podcast Expo Forum for discussion items on hardware, software, and announcements.
This is a good clean slate to get moving out on podcasters helping other podcasters do better, learn new stuff, and collaborate.
