It's A Digital Disease!

So, I just discovered PodcastBulkDownloader thanks to a recent thread, and it's got we wondering...

If I am going to start assembling a podcast hoard, what are the criteria that I might use to decide what gets included? Obviously, podcasts I like would be the primary metric -- but I can download all of those in a couple of hours, and I have a lot more space.

So... what about podcasts at risk of going behind a paywall? Podcasts of significant cultural importance? How does one best serve as a casual archivist for such a massive amount of data?
