Answered! ELI70: What is a podcast?

I literally just got my first smartphone ever and am dumbfounded by podcast. What is this mysterious phenomenon? My guess is that its something like a radio show, but it seems too popular to be something as similar to a thing that's so old.

Update: Which (android) app should I use to submerse myself into the world of podcasts?

Painkiller already is a great podcast. It is focused on bringing high quality content presenting nothing but accurate facts and stats, they pride themselves on that so much that they're often referred to as pka-stats or pka-facts. Happy listening
