Students are detectives. Task: to find clues on how to create a great podcast. Have a number of podcasts ready for students to listen to. Working 'individually' listen and write down your criteria. Then in small groups write what you think are the five most important things that make up a podcast. Every member in the group must agree on the five important things. Each group then joins with the whole group in order to come up with one list of common criteria.
