Reading reviews of programmes available as podcast. Can i download just one app or do i need more than one depending on what i wish to listen to? Thanks.

A 'podcast' is just a posh name for a radio programme (or similar content) available in MP3 format (rather than being streamed). If you've got an app on your computer/phone/tablet/whatever that can play MP3 music files (as you almost certainly have) you've already got everything you need to play podcasts.

For podcasts from the BBC see here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts
(Scroll down to 'Find podcasts' and then select either the station or, possibly better, the category which interests you).

PS: If you want to look beyond the BBC you might find it useful to install a dedicated app to help you to find them. However, since they're MP3 files, you don't actually need any special app to play them.
