A new YouTube section could kill Google Podcasts

Something is moving within Google’s galaxy of products and services. There is, how to say … the smell of cleanliness in the air. At the expense could be the Google podcast application , which could be incorporated into YouTube.

Google Podcast has existed since 2016, at the time it was an integrated function within Google Play Music and which was then separated into an application created ad hoc. In the meantime, six years have passed and Google Play Music is dead and defunct, in turn incorporated by YouTube Music , which today is the only reference hub for Google music.

In the meantime, it has also happened – or rather, it is happening now – that a new section has appeared on YouTube. It’s called YouTube Podcast . Many on the web have started doing 2 + 2. Two products can really coexist in part (if not in all and for all) overlapping within the same company. And if so, for how long?

Clearly there are already those who imagine that YouTube Podcast will simply end up incorporating Google Podcast, sending the latter brand into retirement.

For the moment YouTube Podcast is a simple tag within the largest explore section of the video platform. Moreover, it is not even available for everyone, but only for some users selected at random. In short, it is still early to draw conclusions. At the moment the section only indexes podcasts in video format, and not exclusively audio content.

Yet it may just be dress rehearsals and in the very near future YouTube Podcast could become something more ambitious. We’ll see.
