Nearly every iOS device automatically comes with the Podcasts app - where you can listen, download, and subscribe to thousands of podcasts.

When you download a podcast to your iPhone, you can listen to it offline, like on an airplane or while out on a hike with little to no cellular service. You can also delete a downloaded podcast from your iPhone, and it's as simple as swiping.
