Ian, my experience as a personal and professional podcaster is, do it if you love it. Don't expect big numbers. Imagine a single listener, in the abstract. if it's not worth it, don't do it. Search engines aren't good enough yet to reliably pull words out of an audio stream. And RSS only accumulates listening that busy people typically never find time to do. So do it if you love it, and don't if you don't.
