Google’s very own Podcasts app has reached half a billion downloads on the Play Store, which may be an indicator that it is not going to succumb to YouTube Music.
In recent years, there's been a lot of talk about plans to incorporate podcasts into established streaming services like Spotify, YouTube Music and Apple Music. In some territories and platforms, this is already a reality. But still: alternatives exist.Podcasts has been around since 2018 and has gone through relatively few iterations since then. The plan with this Google-made app is simple: quick search and delivery for podcasts of all topics and lengths.
And despite the fact that YouTube Music will be launching its own Podcasts section in the US, Google Podcasts is still doing pretty well. Recently, the app reached half a billion downloads on the Play Store, which is a testament to its core-audience and popularity.

Now, that being said, YouTube Music itself has long since surpassed the billion downloads. However, we must keep in mind that it offers music, which anyone can get into. Podcasts though? Sure, the medium is more popular than ever, but it is still not for everyone. This is probably part of the reason why Google won’t be scraping the Podcasts app, even after it launches the podcasts section in YouTube Music. The company has outright admitted that the two apps cater to very different core audiences.very aptly points out in its report, Google Podcasts is interesting, because it is an odd case of a standalone version of a component, that can be found on the general Google Search app.
