Very true.  In fact you could quite easy use own computer to record from 
multiable sources at same time.  The software is freely available. 
There is a new Open Source program for podcasting coming out mid 2007. 
There only reason why I know about it is I am one of developers behind 
the project, unlike me there are others in the project who have high 
profile.  Trust me it is already very slick and easy to use, but no 
where near ready for the public use yet (IE Crashes a bit).

Lot people who do podcasts just use USB Mic's/Headsets and they sound 
just fine and are interesting to listing to.  Yes with a good mic it 
makes a world difference but if podcast is boring and you have spent the 
earth on it will not make it any better but for it being a boring 
expensive podcast.
