I'm going on holiday to the Dominican Republic next week for a fortnight & looking to download some podcasts for my ipod and some apps for my phone to entertain me whilst relaxing by the pool.
Any suggestions?

I can recommend lots of true crime Podcasts if that's what you're interested in?

If you liked Serial, you will like Undisclosed. Season one is the AdnanSyed case in much more detail, really fascinating. Season two is another possible wrongful conviction case. Between the two seasons and the addendum episodes, there must be about 40 hours of listening at least.

S-Town is pretty good, similar to Serial in as much as it's an investigative journalist digging deep into a story.

Just started listening to a podcast called true crime garage. They go over unsolved cases and map out all the evidence. Only listened to one so far but gonna keep going as I find it interesting. They have over 100 episodes so might have a case you will like.

Saona Island is a good trip. I didn't do it when I stayed at the Royalton, as I'd done it before, so I can't tell you how long it'll take to get there.

So here's my Podcast list of recommendations - wide mixture.
Serial is excellent - well, series one was - not listened to others..
Undisclosed is jaw dropping UK story - interesting too.
Guardian audio long reads - deep content on interesting topics
The Big Interview with graham hunter - he is a bit sycophantic but possibly the best football interview programme i've listened to
desert island discs - the ones you've never heard of, are often the most interesting
The Moth - true stories told by real people to a public audience
Here's the thing - interview show hosted by alec Baldwin
Seriously - BBC radio 4 show
sportsound - during the season - nightly football shows
S Town - great true story
Fitba Hacks - interviews with well kent Scottish journos about their job - hosted by a hun, quality of sound isn't great - but chat is decent
The comedians comedian podcast - stories from the comedy industry around the craft of comedy - if thats your bag - very easy to listen to
Kermode & Mayo film review on 5 live - overly long and a bit too chatty - but film reviews are good
All songs considered - American based music review show

Here are some other Podcasts I've listened to and enjoyed. I wouldn't say they were as good as Serial and Undisclosed, but if you like True Crime or true life mysteries, then they're worth a listen.
Sword and Scale - Not for the faint hearted, it's tagline is - The show that proves, the worst monsters, are real! It's a different story each episode and some of them are truly horrific. A few I've not bothered to listen to as they involved child abuse, but the ones about real murders are interesting.
Up and Vanished - This is about a missing person enquiry and to begin with I thought it was so-so, what makes it more interesting is the developments in the case due to the podcast being aired. I won't give anything away but I am hooked waiting to find out what is going to happen.
Accused - This one is about an unsolved murder, where the police are not investigating because they believe they know who did it but he got found not guilty.
Breakdown - Season one is wrongful conviction case, and season two follows a live court case.
In the Dark - Another missing person case, this time a young boy, again, there are major developments that happen due to podcast digging into old leads.

I've just finished listening to the "At home with Colin Murray" podcasts and they are superb. He has really done his research and has some wonderful questions for each of his sporting guests and they really open up to him. Certainly not along the lines of "Brian, why are you so good".
I'd love it if he could include Stubbsy or David Gray in his next series.

Athletico Mince is brilliant if you're after something funny.

Think I might read the book once I've finished the Podcast.
