Regular updates (if not weekly, then make sure you announce frequently what the expected release schedule is). A website or updated social media page with an easy to find RSS feed. And most important, a passionate host who cares about the subject matter more that how many downloads they get.

Also ads at the beginning or end, I hate ads in the middle of podcasts.

Also, if a podcast has multiple hosts, it can get boring if they only agree with each other 100% of the time. Discussions and debates can really help keep a show engaging.

I also find it difficult to follow a podcast if the two hosts have very similar voices. On some podcasts I otherwise enjoy, it can be almost impossible to tell who is actually speaking at any given time. Other shows make this very distinct.
