Another one bites the dust
lol actually the first time I ever heard of it
How does this impact listening to podcasts on Google home devices?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Now, a new support article details Google's plans to kill the product, with a shutdown coming in April 2024.
I think all the core podcast features exist somewhere, but they are buried in several menus.
There are more podcast-centric features sequestered away in YouTube Music, where a button with the very confusing label "Save to library" will subscribe to a podcast feed.
Music is a different interface, site, and app, so none of these billions of YouTube viewers are seeing these podcast features.
But this is the future of Google's podcast content, so the company is plowing ahead with it.
If you're looking to get off Google's wild ride and want something straightforward that works across platforms, I recommend Pocket Casts.
