In addition to announcing sound search and AI-generated conversation radio today, YouTube Music is rolling out “Mark as played” for podcasts.

      Yeah, Spotify is trying to force the same thing with a similarly muddled interface.

      YouTube Music is still worse, though, in that it’s also tied to YouTube the video hosting service, plus a music streaming service, plus a podcast streaming service.

      Personally, it never occurred to me. I had been using Google Podcasts and even before they announced it was EOL, it was getting annoying.

      Spotify was there, had everything, so I used it. They keep putting their prices up and I am ready to leave.

      What podcast app would you recommend?

      Well, I gave one reason. If you don’t understand I don’t know what else to tell you. I don’t do it, not sure why you’re replying to me.
