GOOGLE: Google Podcasts RIP

Hi Ferdinand,

Recently, we announced that Google Podcasts is going away in 2024. In order to ease this transition, you now have access to a tool that allows you to easily migrate your show subscriptions to YouTube Music or to download a file of your show subscriptions, which you can upload to an app that supports their import.

Just like Google Podcasts, with YouTube Music you can listen to podcasts on the go using background play, download podcasts, and more – with no paid membership required.

After March 2024, users in the US will no longer be able to listen to podcasts in Google Podcasts. After June 2024, you will no longer be able to migrate or export your subscriptions.

Please note that in order to access the migration and export tools, you’ll need to be on the latest version of the Google Search and Google Podcasts apps and have a valid account type. If you are not on a supported app version, you will only be able to access migration and export tools on the web version of Google Podcasts. Users on Android and iOS apps who have not updated to the latest version by February will be automatically redirected to the web version of Google Podcasts. Some features are not available in the web version of Google Podcasts, including downloading.

If you have questions, we’re here for you. Check out our support resources.

Sincerely,

The Google Podcasts team
