I'm reluctant to run a Kickstarter campaign for a number of reasons. I've seen them succeed in raising funds, then fail in delivering promised projects and premiums and the creator ends up worse off in the end. The Patreon is not intended to fund my project, but only to provide support so I don't have to keep taking on outside jobs.
Looking at popular Patreon creators, you are correct that podcasts are very attractive for members. I am in fact planning a podcast with a co-host to cover a wide range of topics. I hope to have live Discord chats as well, but it's all new to me, so it's taking a bit of work to figure this stuff out.
