    "Now it wants a piece of the podcast scene"

    Posted 2021-08-15

    Pros: You have access to tons of podcasts. Great user interface. Nice integration with other Google services, like Home.

    Cons: Not sure what this offers that other podcast apps don't. Since it is Google, it is going to be harvesting data of some kind.

    Overall: Not a bad podcast app at all. Does what it says, and at no cost. Integration with other google services is nice if you don't mind that sort of thing. A good first place to start for podcasting.
