Why is anyone listening to podcasts on a music app?
Because they killed google podcasts and moved it to YouTube music before they had basic equivalent functionality ready.
So don't use either of them?
Probably to use one app for everything.
I don't understand why you wouldn't use an app specifically for podcasts with all the necessary functionality already built in.
Well, I gave one reason. If you don't understand I don't know what else to tell you. I don't do it, not sure why you're replying to me.
Personally, it never occurred to me. I had been using Google Podcasts and even before they announced it was EOL, it was getting annoying.
Spotify was there, had everything, so I used it. They keep putting their prices up and I am ready to leave.
What podcast app would you recommend?
AntennaPod
Nice.
Giving it a go now. Thanks for the recomendation
It's going to require a lot of configuration to get it working properly, especially if you want offline downloads.
Yeah, Spotify is trying to force the same thing with a similarly muddled interface.
YouTube Music is still worse, though, in that it's also tied to YouTube the video hosting service, plus a music streaming service, plus a podcast streaming service.
