TFA explains the situation pretty well.

Google Podcasts is still around until next year, and the Youtube Music app will have that functionality added this year. It's all in the first paragraph.

Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it.

They said the same thing with Google Play Music, and never added the same functionality to YT music, which is massively inferior for everything besides discovering new music

YouTube.com/podcasts doesn't even fucking work outside the USA.

Yeah, because them adding podcast functionality is going to happen in the future. They haven't done it yet, that's what that means.
