What's the best way to cite a podcast using BibTeX, to match the Chicago Manual of Style?
My guesses are: online, misc, audio, music.
It's a recorded lecture, if that matters.

If it neither has an ISBN nor appears in a series with an ISSN, then it falls within the scope of what Chicago calls "informally published materials", which are, overall, not so well handled by Bibtex.
The downside of using the @misc entry type is that institution isn't a recognised field key for that entry type in the default Bibtex styles, so you have to use the howpublished kludge. I would go for @techreport, which does have the required documentation. You should be prepared to change the representation to get the output you want though.
I note that Jabref has a custom @standard entry type for the internal representation of these kinds of entry, which it translates as appropriate to the bibliography style you want to use in a particular article.
You can use the biblatex-chicago package with some extra modifications to implement this fairly easily. The biblatex-chicago package recommends using biber for sorting instead of bibtex.
As some of the comments have noted, in the natural and behavioural sciences, I think quotation marks are rarely used.

gets me almost there, although the letter "p" in "podcast audio" should be lowercase in note and uppercase in bibliography; this does uppercase in both.
