As expected after it launched podcasts on YouTube Music, Google has announced that its Google Podcasts app is shutting down.
announced
that next year, it will be shutting down Google Podcasts and rolling its entire podcasting experience into YouTube Music. Google says that YouTube Music is already more popular for users looking to listen or watch podcast episodes, saying that “23% of weekly podcast users in the US say YouTube is their most frequently used service, versus just 4% for Google Podcasts.
We want to make sure we get this right and will give fans and podcasters plenty of time to make the transition. For users, it means a simple migration tool and the ability to add podcast RSS feeds to their YouTube Music library, including shows not currently hosted by YouTube. For those who prefer a different listening platform, the tools will also include an option to download an OPML file of their show subscriptions, which they can upload to an app that supports their import.
The news isn’t surprising. When the company announced that podcasts were coming to YouTube Music, it felt like the writing was on the wall for Google Podcasts. So goes another product to the Google graveyard. Speaking of which, if you want to keep tabs, check out the website
