I agree with Ryan. Personally this is the only wp forum I spend time with. I don’t like the wp.org forum at all. Its so cold and anonymous.
And I hope you can continue to provide good post on your blog also.

And for the podcast, I think you should look into making a liveshow with ustream for example. Just for the fun of it. Perhaps combine it with one of your visits to WordCamps.
And maybe try to get the WP Weekly show on a more Europe friendly time if anything popular/debatable comes up during the year. Purely for my selfish reasons =).
