WAS Pretty good. Well, at least you won't have to pay to listen podcasts with your screen off. Although I've been a YouTube premium subscriber for a while now (which comes with Music Premium) But YouTube Music is not the solution I want for podcasts. As others have said, it's bloated. And right off the bat, one of two final features of this App, the export to Music, FAILS. That is, it says "I have no subscriptions to import. Even though I can download the file and see the subs in that.

Simple and has all the podcasts. YT Music, I gave it a shot for months, but it's horrible for podcasts. Unsafe for driving because it's so complicated to find stuff. And you search for a popular podcast that you're already subscribed to, yet it doesn't even pop up. It's just soooo bad. So I cancelled my YouTube music subscription after years of paying. Time to search for another music & podcast solution

BRING IT BACK! The YouTube music podcast experience sucks. I want a dedicated app. There was nothing wrong with this app. It is a pure money grab by Google. Certain podcasts don't have a single whole episode. They're divided into clips if video is available, I assume to maximize ad revenue. Well, now you get zero ad revenue from me as I am switching to something else. YouTube music is the worst for podcasts. Idiot move, Google. Makes me question my subscription to YouTube music.
