Google Podcasts Is Ending So I Migrated to YouTube Music and Pocket Casts
Since Google Podcasts is ending, I migrated to YouTube Music and Pocket Casts.
I chose two migration destinations from Google Podcasts: YouTube Music and Pocket Casts. I plan to use both for a while and then narrow it down to one.
The main reason was that it’s a service provided by Google, and the “Export to YouTube Music” feature was available, making migration to YouTube Music simple.
Also, since I listen to music on YouTube Music, I wanted to try the habit of listening to podcasts on YouTube Music as well.
I remember there was an episode of rebuild.fm where Pocket Casts was recommended, and I had been wanting to try Pocket Casts, so I migrated to it when Google Podcasts ended.
For the migration method, I used the “Export for another app” feature in the Google Podcasts app to download an OPML file and imported it into Pocket Casts to complete the migration.
Google Podcasts will no longer be available
Starting June 23, 2024, you’ll no longer be able to listen to podcasts on Google Podcasts. Migrate your subscriptions to YouTube Music or export them for use with your preferred service.
That’s all from the Gemba.
