Time to get out of Google Podcasts for anyone that is still using the service.

YouTube is the app around which both Google Play Music and now Podcasts are shutting down, so I doubt YouTube will go away. I won’t be surprised, however, if other apps are incorporated in like Play Movies and Play Books even.

Shitting down YouTube would be like shuttering Gmail or even Search. Seems unlikely.

Arent Play Movies already integrated in YT?
A movie and tv show I "bought" in the store are only watchable on YT.
