Google is shutting down Google Podcasts in less than a month. Despite being pre-installed on Android phones for years, users have favoured other apps like Spotify and YouTube.
Google Podcasts only accounts for 6% of the author's downloads, ranking 3rd among platforms.
Migration Options
- For Users: One click can migrate your subscriptions to YouTube Music.
- For Podcasters: Follow the instructions in Google Podcasts Manager to syndicate your podcast to YouTube.
Concerns
Podcast discovery in YouTube Music is currently poor, and improvements are needed to prevent users from switching to third-party apps.
