Well, perhaps Apple is tooting its own horn, but the apple website discusses the various uses of a podcast's content. It can be a lecture, a foreign language lesson, a demonstration of biology principles, etc. I've listened to a number of ESL podcasts that are free from iTunes and these podcasts involve a discussion about something related to daily life, but of course, the instructor speaks slowly and anunciates all words. What better way to learn a language than to hear it over and over again?
I've been seeing a LOT of examples all over the web about the uses of podcasting at the elementary level. Students are making them according to a teacher's instruction and it helps with reading, writing, and oral presentation skills. Here is an article: http://chatt.hdsb.ca/~magps/boylit/edweek%20article.pdf
