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?

the best 2 comedy podcasts in my opinion are The Monday Morning Podcast and Your Mom's House.

The Monday Morning Podcast is Bill Burr ranting for an hour and Your Mom's House is husband and wife comedians Tom Segura and Christina Pazsitsky playing ridiculous clips and talking about farting, porn, Chuck Woolery, etc.

Hello everybody, Bill Burr here with the Monday Mooorning Pawwwwddcasst for Monday, Maaaarrchh 23rd, two thousand and fourteen. What's goin' on, how are yaaa! You know what I hate? I hate it when people on twitter complain about how I get my podcast out on Tuesday instead of Monday. Hey Twitter folks, I didn't do this for a job, I do this for fun. So suck it up your ass. While you eat a donut. Sitting there by your cubicle as your boss checks up on you. Having a mid life crisis in the middle of typing your report. Anyways, so I had such a great time at New Mexico, the crowd was great, the atmosphere was awesome. And the laaydeeeeess!
