Google should be more careful about banning high ranking/rated apps. It looks anti-competitive considering they want more people using Google podcasting app.

I'd like to think this was an accident somewhere down the chain and will be remedied in the morning. I love the app and hope it gets sorted out.

Why would google care at this point? Regulators world wide are basically useless. They might sue Google eventually and years later Google might settle for 1% of the profit they made as a result. So why would they ever care?

It's been 2 days, How long do we wait until we conclude it isn't an accident?
