podcasts are very much like radio shows but accessible through the internet...

there are two ways to listen..

1. on the site, you can usually just click a button and it will play the audio file. the files can be stored anywhere, but are often stored on a site like soundcloud

2. some places like the apple app website have a library that will allow you to download the audio to your phone..

For example.. here is a link to a site that has some fun podcasts a friend does: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/personalbest

and one of them: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/personalbest/how-to-high-five-yourself-1.4533055
has a link on the page that will play the audio in your browser.

I'm going to leave the full links up so you can see the path..

One of the classics, this american life, was a radio show that is now a podcast as well..

this is a good one: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/513/129-cars
about car salesmen

and this one is one of my favs cause it's so weird..
https://www.gimletmedia.com/mystery-show/case-3-belt-buckle
about a belt buckle..

that last one, you can see, has a soundcloud file embedded in it, but you can see also that at the top you downloud using spotify or some app called apple podcasts.
