Possibly, but it's not that simple to calculate. There are various factors to take into account that will affect how much space you need.
For example:
If you already have the iPod, that suggests that you are now committed to your planned path, which makes your question somewhat academic. So the only way to find out is to try it. I assume that you are already in the process of digitising all of this material, in which case, carry on.
As you add the media (music and/or speech) you can monitor how large the library is becoming. At the bottom of the iTunes window (if that's what you're using) is the Status Bar which tells you how many GB of storage the library is taking up. (View/Show Status Bar). Not sure how to do this in Finder (Mac).
If your library becomes larger than the space available on your iPod, one answer is to synchronise the library to the iPod by using Sync selected playlists, artists, albums and genres and then choose only as much as will fit on the device. You can even create Smart Playlists that can automatically remove and add media to the iPod at each sync and use this method to automatically limit what is added to it, while changing what is on it so that you don't have to. I won't go into details now, but I can if you think it might help.
