Damn, the year is 2024. Google has finally implemented another absolutely basic podcasting functionality.
At this rate, by 2035, it might become a usable app.
Having to maintain a plethora of brands with their own unique podcasts, I really do hate using YouTube podcasts. It is very unfriendly to brand managers.
When they killed Podcasts it was the last straw for me. It was an excellent app that did what it should with a good UI: the sort of app Google don't make anymore.
I self hosted audiobookshelf and its 100x better. This then led me to self host everything else (Immich for Photos, Araa for Search, etc) and now I don't use Google services at all.
I used to be all in on everything Google but you actually got useful apps and services for your data 10 years ago, now they harvest your data and give you shit in return, and shut down anything useful so you can't rely on it.
