There were rumors a few weeks ago that Google is planning to release a dedicated Android app for listening to audio podcasts, but it turns out they were true and you can now download the new Google Podcasts app from the Google Play store on your Android-powered smartphone or tablet. The Google Podcasts app promises to offer Android users a customized listening experience where they can subscribe to any audio podcast available on Google Play Music and listen for free, as well as support to listen to podcasts at faster playback speeds and skip silent parts.
