Google rolling podcasts into YouTube Music is great, for me. Much easier to use and track your subscriptions.

Sorry for people who liked Podcasts, I didn't. The app was horrible, I barely used it.

I have the exact same thoughts but in opposite positions. Google Podcasts was a simple, straightforward, and easy to use app that just worked. YT Music is so cluttered and filled with useless garbage when all you want is to listen to a podcast. It's an awful app. As a result of them shutting down Podcasts I'm not going to YT Music despite paying for Premium. I'll have to find a different app that I imagine will be worse than the UX of Podcasts.
