At the moment it seems like a themed challenge would be easiest to start with, and then build up to an exchange a bit later in the year? (As a distraction from writing JE Hols fic? XD)
I definitely see your point in lists taking away the secret (aka, fun) aspect of an exchange. Though I think a little direction would be helpful in narrowing the potential field down a bit - perhaps something along the lines of K-X requests? You indicate the pairings, ratings, and genres you're happy to receive, and then the rest is up to the podficcer? That way people are able to choose fic of a length and style they're comfortable with as well.
We could do a secret theme challenge? Everyone signs up, I write out however many themes to match the number of participants, then fold 'em up, go down the list and draw each person's theme out of a hat XD
