Millions of people are listening to podcasts for entertainment and self-enrichment. With thousands of contents available, you will find a lot of options for various topics. To make it easier for its users to navigate through their favorite shows and series, Google Podcasts is rolling out a new feature.
Google lets users stay on their platform even if they want to listen to podcasts beyond the Google Podcasts library. With the new addition of the private RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed, users can check out new content without leaving the Google Podcast platform.
Once subscribed, you can access the RSS feed on your Android or iPhone, and on the web. It will collate all your subscribed channels inside Google Podcasts, so you don’t have to jump from one platform to another. All podcasts will appear alongside each other, whether it is from Google Podcasts or other premium podcast providers like Supercast, Patreon, Stratechery, Slate, Glow, Memberful, and RedCircle.
