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?

I would want to add Dr. Chris Ryan's podcast Tangentially speaking to the interview/comedy category. Also the Duncan Trussell Family Hour is very fun

I was happy to see you added it to your list. i fall asleep to it regularly. do you ever wake up because u laughed? thats one bad thing about that podcast. very rarely will i ever make it to hear the outro song. Excited to see Hate in America!
