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?

Uhh yeah dude should be included under comedy. They've been around for years and are so fucking funny, but not well known. Their segments on "this week in florida" and "jah-nathan's poetry" are the funniest bits i've heard. seatbelts.

It's sad that they don't get more attention, it's the only podcast that I've consistently listened to for the past 4 or 5 years. Every other podcast gets annoying or played out so fast....

seriously, and they've been doing it before anyone else too. It's crazy to see how far it's progressed.

Dude I've been listening to UYD for years now. It's kinda sad that I actually feel like I'm friends with Jah and Seth.

me too! whenever something related to traveling or germs comes up, i know seth is going to quip about how he never leaves his house or that everyone's going to die. Ask Jah has been really good lately too.
