Actually, Yahoo was one of the worst podcast directories other than aesthetic appeal, because if you ever tried to actually use it, it was a nightmare. Podcasts were duplicated two and three times, and podcast creators couldn't fix the information for their shows once they were in the directory, if they could ever get their shows in there in the first place.
Yahoo Podcasts closing is not an indictment of audio podcasting; there are several other directories (not the least of which being iTunes) that are still alive and well, and both of my podcasts are seeing many more subscribers than they did when Yahoo Podcasts first came out. Yahoo gave up on their podcast site almost immediately after they released it into beta, and they're finally doing the right thing by shutting it down.
If iTunes ever drops podcasts, then we can start talking about podcasting being a fad, but Yahoo not taking podcasting seriously doesn't mean that podcasting is dead.
