Personally, I've found Amazon's S3 service to be the cheapest host for large (60+ mins) MP3 files for my podcasts. Then I use Podtrac to check stats on the downloads. For putting out the feed to all compatible players, I use Feedburner's podcast service.
To actually make the feed, a self-hosted Wordpress is fine (just link to the MP3 for a given episode within an entry and WP does the rest). I'm sure a hosted WP might do the same. There's also Tumblr (same thing - link to the MP3 file from within an entry).
As for equipment, you don't need much. I, personally, use a mixer and 3 mics because I do a live broadcast and have guests. But, if you're not putting it on video and/or you're fine with gathering around a recorder, many podcasters swear by the Zoom H4N (or similar).
If you want to go the mixing board route - a simple Beringer 6-track is only about $80, and I found a 3-pack of Audio Technica microphones for around $60 on this page at Musicians Friend
