Android takes up 6.5GB, the dozen-ish apps I use seem to take 3.5GB. So, that leaves 6GB of general storage. The browser cache and all music, photos and podcasts need to fit into those 6GB. A single episode of a podcast may be an hour and a half. If you are subscribed to 5 weekly podcasts, then that's about 1GB of data you'll need. If you're going on a long trip, maybe you stock up. That might take 3GB or 4GB... But that probably won't fit on your phone. It certainly doesn't fit on mine.
