Good Podcast should be in colloquial format, so that everyone can understanding and the content should be about things that interest everyone and is typical of a daily conversation or activity. It should be original, detailed, and well organized. Humor is always a plus, but not mandatory. I think it is important to incorporate some japanese culture and vocabularies. If you could, add subtitles or animations to make the video even more interesting.
Evaluation:
Depending on the topic, the podcast should be detailed, at least 5 minutes long and the content should be relevant and consistent with topic. The podcast should be viewable by everyone and take in one shot. If the video stop and resume, it would be annoying. Flow of the video is also very important for a good grade!
That's all!
