Ffs... I am a really good predictor for what Google is killing next. I just started using it because it was preinstalled on the pixel and I was lazy.

It’s getting rolled into YouTube Music, not killed off.
The UI might not be as good. I guess we’ll see.

It's getting killed off. Some features from Google Podcasts may make their way into YT Music, but I doubt all of them will (the Google Play Music 'migration' told me everything I need to know)
As far as users are concerned, it is killed off.
Especially considering how migration from Google Music to YT Music went.
Personally despite looking to get into podcasts I ended up writing off Google Podcasts from the start, expecting it will stop working just like Listen did.

Same. Simple app that I use to listen to a sleep podcast because I can't listen to the Patreon feed on Spotify.

They _still_ don't support adding a custom feed?
That miss was what pushed me to google podcast in the first place, along with their absolute refusal to fix broken feeds for existing podcasts in their index.
