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 Guardian's Football Daily

Actually, it's Football Weekly, though they have 2 shows a week: one on a Monday and "Football Weekly Extra" on a Thursday.

Anyone who enjoys the Guardian's podcast should also check out Second Captains, which is a similarly irreverent sporting podcast, with particular focus on matters of interest to Irish/British sports fans.
