Google to shut down Google Podcasts in 2024, focusing on YouTube Music integration

Google has announced that it will be discontinuing its standalone podcast service, Google Podcasts, in 2024. Google aims to create a more appealing destination for both podcast enthusiasts and creators by making YouTube Music the primary platform for podcasts. According to Google, about 23% of weekly podcast users in the US already consider YouTube as their most frequently used service, compared to just 4% for Google Podcasts. This data, along with Google's efforts to make podcast content available for free on YouTube Music earlier this year, has influenced the decision to discontinue Google Podcasts. As part of the transition, Google will provide a straightforward migration tool to help users move their podcast subscriptions seamlessly to YouTube Music.
