That's just the Google way... still didn't get over the RSS reader disaster... Anyways, I tried the app a couple of times: it's not a great app for listening to podcasts. If you like podcasts, try Antennapod, Pocket Casts or Podcast Addict (and please stay away from Spotify).

In the end: good riddance.

    Why did you say "stay away from Spotify"?

    Because Spotify uses (not their own) podcasts to generate revenue, but doesn't pay the creators.

    You might actually hear a podcast host say that if you listen to enough podcasts. I have heard it in the Bits und so podcast, directly from the host.

    Also, Spotify bought their own studio (Gimlet), for that they are obviously paying the creators.

    Also, there is this wonderful specialty toy, I think it is called Google. You can search for things and find answers to urgent questions, all by yourself.
