Google Podcasts Ending Internationally: What You Need to Know and How to Migrate Your Content

In a recent announcement, Google has discontinued its content platform, Google Podcasts, internationally between mid-to-late June. This follows the company’s previous statement in September that they would end the service by 2024 and focus on investing in this format within YouTube Music. To assist creators interested in transferring their content experience to this platform, Google provided guides for content migration.

Google had shared a schedule for the discontinuation of Google Podcasts last December, stating that the service would end in the United States in April 2024. However, users outside of the US will have access to the platform until mid-to-late June 2024. All users worldwide will have the opportunity to migrate or export their subscriptions until July 29, 2024. This can be done directly from the app by utilizing the ‘Export subscriptions’ button on the top page.

For those interested in transitioning to YouTube Music, there is also an ‘Export to YouTube Music’ option available on the app. Users must have the YouTube Music application installed to migrate their subscriptions smoothly. This process aims to streamline and facilitate the transition for Google Podcasts users as they move to another platform for their content consumption.

In conclusion, Google has decided to discontinue its content platform, Google Podcasts, internationally between mid-to-late June after previously stating that they would end it by 2024 and focus on investing in this format within YouTube Music. The company has provided tools and resources for creators interested in transferring their content experience to this platform and will give all users worldwide until July 29th of 2024 to migrate or export their subscriptions smoothly using either ‘Export subscriptions’ or ‘Export to YouTube Music’ options available on the app with YouTube Music installed.
