Hi V!
It is like a radio talk show – usually on a very narrow topic. For example apple has a podcast about the original recordings of songs selected by American Idol Contestants I listen to – you have to love American Idol to even be interested – and thankfully (so I don’t feel like an idiot 
I am not alone – it is downloaded thousands of times apparently.
From what I can tell it looks like my podcast is downloaded an average of 143 times a day after not quite two months and five shows posted. To tell you the truth I can’t believe that many people are interested in this stuff! If I get listed in the Apple website as a “top 100″ most popular podcast the downloads would go up exponentially – some business podcasts are downloaded tens of thousands of times. It’s stunning.
You don’t have to have an iPod to listen, you can hear it on the website at http://webstrategiespodcast.com/ but you may personally find it a little dry.
Let me know what you think! Thanks!
Tom
