Hi Andrea, I'll try to answer your questions here.
What actually is it (or are they)?
I downloaded the Ipod thingie and actually managed to download some stuff. But I still don't know actually what I did!!!
Is it something like listening to a show at your own leisure and not having to listen on line when the show is going to air?
That's exactly what it is, and in a whole lot of cases, these shows are exclusively available as podcasts.
It is possible that online shows can be Podcasted, but in a lot of cases these shows are exclusive to Podcasting.
Are there any audio books that can be downloaded in this way?
There sure are, although not very many. Check out the Podcast directories other folks have listed.
Are there any old time radio feeds?
There may be some, although I've never run across them. With Podcasting, you'd be more likely to find a podcast that is devoted to the discussion of a specific show or shows, rather than the shows themselves. A lot of these shows used to be in the public domain and I'm willing to bet a lot of them still are, but these companies who sell OTR are buying the rights to them, so if you wanted to podcast them, you'd probably have to pay some kind of fee, not sure how all that would go. But there is a radio section in the directory so you may find one.
Hope this helps.
