Google Play Podcasts Might Finally Launch on April 18th
Podcasts have been rumored to come to Google Play Music for a long time now, and it looks like that wait is finally over. As noticed by Android police, NPR sent a newsletter out to member partners that said podcasts would come to Google Play Music 18th. It's not concrete confirmation, and we've been burned in the past by similar accidental disclousures, but this seems like pretty solid evidence that Google Play Music will get perhaps its biggest missing feature filled in soon.

There aren't many other details to be gleaned from NPR's accidental dislosure; the newsletter says that podcasts will be coming to Android as well as "other platforms". It seems pretty likelythat the feature will roll out on iOS and the web as well. Most avid podcasts fans have gotten by just fine without official Google support thus far, but if you audio needs or just prefer Google's apps, this should be a solid additon to your phone. The real question is what exactly took Google so long to add this feature in the first place... but that hopefully won't matter as of next week.
