I have this email

    Recently we announced that Google Podcasts will be discontinued next year. We wanted to reach out directly with more information on what to expect.
    
    For now, nothing is changing, and you can continue to use Google Podcasts as normal. Over the coming months, podcasts in YouTube Music will be made available globally and we will start rolling out tools that will enable you to transfer your podcast show subscriptions from Google Podcasts. In YouTube Music, you will be able to listen to your podcasts just like you did on Google Podcasts, no paid subscription required. If YouTube Music isn’t for you, there will also be an option to download a file of your show subscriptions, which you can upload to an app that supports their import.
    
    We acknowledge that this is a big change and want to thank you for being a loyal Google Podcasts user. We’ll reach out directly with more details over the coming months. In the meantime, if you have questions, please check out our Help Community here.

    Sincerely,
    The Google Podcasts team
The podcast app on my phone also has a nag text that mentions that it will be shutting down.

I was trying to say that we have well over a year in advance to prepare for the google podcast service to terminate.

If you ignore emails that is on you, not the service.

Oh yeah? That's a weird thing to write instead of just saying, "I admit that I wasn't telling the truth."

PS: Even with your moving the goalposts, September to April still isn't "well over a year".

I fact checked both of us and the timelime is Sept 2023 to July 2024, so you are correct that it's not over a year.

>September to April

You seem to be not telling the truth, perhaps you should admit that yourself.
