Is it good by Google Podcasts? The latest from PodNews.net with Magellan, AI now analyzing Spanish
podcasts.
We start with an exclusive today, Google Podcasts has been removed from Google Search. Back
in April 2018, Google started showing individual podcast episodes and play buttons in Google
Search, which opened a Google Podcasts branded player. Now, a Google Search for a podcast,
no longer shows any play buttons linking to the service or any links to Google Podcasts
itself.
A Google spokesperson tells us that this is as intended, adding, we're constantly experimenting
with ways to improve the experience for our users. Well, the Google Podcasts app has had
no feature updates for the last 18 months. The Google Podcasts creators program closed
this month, and now with a removal of the product from Google Search, we asked if Google
Podcasts is to close. The answer was revealing. They said, YouTube and Google Podcasts serve
different needs, both serve podcast listeners today, and we are not changing this right now.
We have nothing more to share at this time.
