Based on:

You should absolutely be listening to podcasts. This is literally the main strength of the format. What do you mean you "never know how to play them" ?

Whichever phone you have there will be abundant free podcast players in the app store, you can look up and subscribe to their feeds and listen through that. Longform interviews or conversations on every topic imaginable.

I've just never "gotten into" them. Like is there a site I can just use? I don't really like apps I guess, but I'm open to using one.

Since each podcast independently chooses where/who their files are hosted on/with, no not really. AFAIK podcast apps are just a directory of RSS feeds, so you could in theory subscribe to one of those feeds directly but I have no idea for sure.

If the goal is to listen on your computer instead of your phone you could probably use spotify or apple podcasts or whatever.

Personally one of the strengths of podcasts is that its audio-only, so I can listen while on the go/doing non-cognitive work. Perfect use-case for a phone, but to each their own.
