YouTube Music is Google’s podcast player now.
“Looking forward to 2024, we’ll be increasing our investment in the podcast experience on YouTube Music — making it a better overall destination for fans and podcasters alike with YouTube-only capabilities across community, discovery and audio/visual switching,” YouTube writes in a blog post. “Later in 2024, as part of this process, we’ll be discontinuing Google Podcasts.”
YouTube justifies the discontinuation of Google Podcasts by saying the move “matches what listeners and podcasters are already doing.” It cites data from Edison, which suggests 23 percent of weekly podcast users in the US say YouTube is their most frequently used service, as opposed to 4 percent for Google Podcasts.
YouTube will also help Google Podcasts move over to YouTube Music by providing “a simple migration tool and the ability to add podcast RSS feeds to their YouTube Music library.” The platform will also offer a tool that lets users download an OPML file of their show subscriptions, allowing them to upload it to other listening platforms.
