    I know it’s not really important but I prefer the design of the Podcasts app (Material You). YouTube Music is always completely black and clashes with the design of every other app made by Google. 🤷‍♂️

    Man Google is on a roll, one of the few of their apps I kept after de-googling in the last few months from most things, now I can add this to an alternative. Thanks G!

    Am I totally crazy or did the word “podcast” come directly from the Apple proprietary product name “iPod?” You know, their old music players?

    If so it’s weird to see an Apple-specific term spread so far and wide. They usually stay within the walled garden.

      You are correct that the term “podcast” derives from the iPod, but interestingly the term predates Apple’s addition of podcasting features to the iPod and the iTunes software.
