Oh, with all that said, if you just want the year in the slug, it might work.

array ( 'slug' => '/podcast/%year%' )

Note that just using '%year%' would very much NOT work. There must be
some URL prefix difference between a "post" and your custom type...
That URL difference is necessary for the rewrite system to know the
difference in what to look for.

Basically, if I gave it a URL of "/2010/some-name", then the rewrite
system needs to figure out, just from that text and the rewrite rules
alone, what post type to look for in the database.
