Rule of Google: if it works, kill it.

I know, I know, using Google apps isn't the best, but this was a perfectly good Podcast app with all the features you might want.

Apparently they're moving everything over to YouTube Music, where a lot of the features of Google Podcasts aren't implemented yet.

I've moved over to an app from F-Droid.

Trying to find my podcasts in YouTube Music's Android Auto app took around 8 button presses. Google Podcasts took 0.

I switched to Spotify for podcasts and it still takes 3 or so, but good enough for now.

To be fair, I don't see the point of this app existing when YouTube Music (and, naturally—by extention—YTM ReVanced) already has a dedicated podcast section. No need for redundant apps.
