"Finding the Best Google Podcast Replacement: A Comparison with YouTube Music"

Despite the recent US shutdown, Google Podcasts is still sending out new episode notifications on both Android and iOS, while YouTube Music lacks comparable alerts. This oversight highlights the advantage Google Podcasts has in delivering fast new episode notifications. The current method for finding new episodes on YouTube Music is cumbersome, and the lack of new episode alerts is a significant drawback for the service. Prioritizing new episode alerts over other features would enhance the user experience and encourage repeat usage of the podcasting app.
