A friend runs a site for learning English in Korean, and I was considering making regular podcasts reading children's fiction.

I'd like to do something similar to EscapePod/Escape Artists and do modern content, and not classics (Goldilocks etc).

Where might I find writers or material?

Thanks!

I don't know if you're looking for something serialized, but might I humbly suggest The Unbelievable Origin of Superspiff and the Toothpick Kid? Not only children's fiction, but with splashes American culture! Well, superhero culture!

I'm a bit partial....

maxiewawa--have you decided to try this?  I'd be interested how it turns out.

I'm curious if a kid's podcast would be popular--do enough kids have iPods to make it take off?

No, but enough parents have kids in the back of the car and want to play them something that isn't mind-numbingly stupid.  thank god my kids like Car Talk, but that's only an hour a week.  Decoder Ring Theater will be back on it's regular storylines soon, so that will help.
