Google has officially announced the closure of Google Podcasts in the United States this month, but what about users outside the US? As an international service, Google Podcasts has provided clarity for users worldwide. Here’s what you need to know:

– While Podcasts in the US will be discontinued in April, international users can continue using the service until mid-to-late June 2024.
– Global users have until July 29, 2024, to migrate or export their Google Podcast subscriptions.
– It’s recommended that users transfer their show subscriptions to YouTube Music or export them for use in another podcast app. Please note that child accounts cannot transfer subscriptions to YouTube Music.
– Transfer to YouTube Music is only available in countries where YouTube Music is accessible. For example, in South Korea, YouTube Music is limited to Premium subscribers.
– Users’ Google Podcasts data will be available in Takeout for a year before Google starts deleting it. Users can choose to delete their data before the one-year mark if they prefer.

Stay informed and take action before these changes take effect. Make sure you secure your podcast subscriptions and data accordingly!
