Google plans to shut down Google Podcasts “later in 2024”, moving its streaming listeners to YouTube Music, which will support US podcasts and RSS feeds by 2024
Again the question - how can you possibly TRUST basing your usage on Google products? — It's gotten to the point where I simply don't try out new Google services, because I know that they will go away at some point. … Ed Ross / @edross@mas.to : @Techmeme — Do you have a “Google plans to shut down....” template? Bluesky: Rich Stroffolino / @mranthropology.bsky.social : When Google podcasts launched, I thought it would provide a continuous client experience for listening across a browser and mobile in a way that would be really convenient. Instead it was... very confusing, not built out and I never saw the benefits of surfacing in search. [embedded post] Greg Linden / @glinden.bsky.social : In addition to Google Domains, Google shutting down another product I use and like. The lesson here seems to be that Google is unreliable and you shouldn't depend on any of their products. I think concern about being there for customers is particularly damaging to Google Cloud.

[embedded post] X: Artem Russakovskii / @artemr : Google Podcasts, a half-assed effort I will not miss, is going to die in 2024. While they are migrating to YouTube Music and will support podcasts there, I've been quite happy with @pocketcasts. https://www.androidpolice.com/ ... Rohit / @krishnanrohit : Hey @Google at least try selling these things off? I will buy this off you for $10. Stop killing your darlings! @ianchaffee : Google getting started on its Halloween product graveyard early. Julia Alexander / @loudmouthjulia : Inevitable, but smart, move from Google. YouTube monopolizes the video ad market. Audio creators are using YT to increase discovery + ad-sharing potential. Using Music as an all-in-one utility really centers YouTube as the creator center across all formats https://blog.youtube/... @ddallala : Why do I keep falling for this?! Podcast is/was such a great and simple product. As was Google Reader, Google Domains, Google Inbox and Nest Secure. Again I have to completely rethink my daily flows in a way that's likely detrimental😪(sigh) @killedbygoogle : I see Google is continuing its push to have all things media under the YouTube brand. https://9to5google.com/... Corey Quinn / @quinnypig : I've found that if you migrate off of a Google product to the replacement Google product, you'll be migrating again a year or two later anyway. You can save a lot of time and effort down the line by migrating off to a non-Google product.

I dropped Google Podcasts a while back because it was showing all the symptoms of a product Google is about to kill. I guess most of us are pretty good at at sniffing out the patterns now. That said, I'm holding onto Keep for dear life while staring at Bard knowing its future. …
I know there's very little differentiation in podcast apps, but this was the only I know of that went above 2X speed. Does anyone else have one that can do that? Otherwise I'll have to listen to @crumbler for a full 30mins each week, which would be tragic.
