Multiple posts on another page NOT on blog homepage

I have gone extensively thru the forums and it seems that there are plugins that could do this but not for 2.3 but it still just doesn’t seem very clear to me why this is not a simple thing to do.

Is it possible to have say a “Latest News” page that would display posts only on that page and not on the blog home page? I have a podcast and I just want the podcast posts to come up on the home page and I don’t want the “latest news” posts to come up on the home page. I want people to click to the latest news page to get those posts.
