Google Play Music To Add Podcast Support on April 18, Says Report

Posted by msmash on Friday April 15, 2016 @07:20AM from the affinity-for-podcasts dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Google Play Music could add a hub for podcasts on Monday, April 18. The speculation comes as news outlets spotted a leaked NPR email member-only newsletter which claims that the company 'worked with Google to ensure that public radio is represented in the Google Play environment' and reveals the launch date. Google announced plans to add podcasts to Google Play Music app in October last year. It's a welcome move -- whenever it actually happens. Google, unlike Apple and Microsoft, as of today doesn't offer any built-in app in its mobile operating system which could allow users to subscribe and listen to their favorite podcasts. And podcasts are increasingly becoming popular.

No one remebers Google Listen? by LWATCDR · 2016-04-15 08:18 · Score: 3, Interesting

Google had a podcasting app for android called Listen years ago. That and MyTracks are two of Google apps I wish they had not killed.
