Podcasts Headed to Google Play Music

This seems like a good way to expand Podcast listernship.  Given that hardly nobody pays attention to iTunes (or can find anything they want) having the option to listen via Google Play seems like a good idea.

In addition to a library of 35 million songs, Google Play Music will also soon offer podcasts.

Google is working with more than a dozen popular podcasters like Feral Audio, HBO, HowStuffWorks, Public Radio International, StarTalk Radio, and This Week in Tech to bring their shows to the service. The list of podcasters headed to Google's streaming service also includes 5by5, Dan Carlin, Dave Ramsey, Earwolf, Gimlet Media, Head Gum, the Loud Speakers Network, Nerdist / Legendary, Radiotopia / PRX, the Sideshow Network, Slate / Panoply, and Tim Ferriss.

Once it launches, the new feature will make it easy to discover podcasts you might find interesting, Google Play Music Product Manager Elias Roman wrote in a blog post.

Lets hope it works out for them and with any luck people will finally discover what makes the Hardware Asylum Podcast awesome.
