Google wants to be the center of the world, with the price of movies, billboards, shopping, information cards, translations, flight offers, hotels, maps ... Little by little, search results are less and less important.
Now Google's search engine wants to take another step to attract the attention of podcast fans without having to access any website, because it tests a function that allows listening to sound directly from the search engine.
At the moment, this new functionality does not offer a complete experience like other specialized platforms, as it only allows one podcast episode to be viewed, and we can not browse different podcast files from the site.
Google is joining the move in a direction that Apple has also joined when it updated the Podcasts web interface to allow it to run episodes directly.
Google has an application to listen to podcasts that you can download from the following link: Google Podcasts
