Podcasting can be done on anything providing you have the software (I'm not  
sure of any PPC software I've still got 4 weeks to wait before I get my  
hands on mine).
 
Podcasting is also nothing to do with Apple or iPod.  It's basically an RSS  
feed that links to audio.

'Podcasts' are just archived MP3 music files of live events.
 
So yes, since most PPC media players can play MP3 files it'd work
fine. You'd have to have a method to get the MP3 onto the pocket PC
just like you would with an iPod.  
 
As long as it's stored on the PC there's no problem to copy it over
using windows explorer, or sync it using desktop PC's media player,
Real Player or other program.
