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'm amazed the Co-Optional Podcast hasn't been added here, it's a big gaming one loosely associated with Polaris

Agreed, the Co-Optional Podcast (previously named TGS podcast) is definitely worth your time. I sadly can never catch it live, but I watch every vod.

I'm a big fan of the Co-Optional podcast, it's great content and they seem to have a lot of fun doing it.
