Google Podcasts is a podcast application developed by Google, and launched in 2018 for Android devices. In 2019, it launched versions for iOS and desktop. According to reports, Google has announced that its podcast application will shut down and will no longer be available to users.
This is a result of the company’s aim to centralize the podcast experience with YouTube, Google’s top platform for all audio streams. This restructuring will involve moving Google Podcasts content and experiences to YouTube. The report further mentions that YouTube Music subscribers will have podcast content available for online and offline streaming.
