Google allows you to play podcasts in search results

Podscasts have been gaining market presence at a rapid pace. Therefore, many people search for one using the Google search engine. Something that the company knows, so they introduce changes to make this process more enjoyable. Since it is now possible to listen to a podcast directly from the results of the search itself.

Google allows you to play podcasts in search results

The three most recent episodes of a particular podcast will be shown. All of them will also have the possibility of being reproduced, directly from the results page. Very comfortable.

Rolling out this week you'll be able to search for and play podcasts directly in Google Search across Android, iOS, and desktop browsers, a step toward making audio a first-class citizen across Google. pic.twitter.com/29ohC7W9z8

Bet on podcasts

This direct link to the three most recent episodes and the possibility of playing them directly in the browser make it an option of interest to many users. In addition to offering something more than Apple, which recently introduced changes in this regard. In the case of Google we have the possibility to advance or delay said episode, or even change the speed of playback.

It is certainly a bet that can be very comfortable. Since directly on the results page we will be able to listen to an entire episode if you want. This saves the user time.

It is a function that was announced this week, during Google I / O 2019. It is already available, both on a computer and on a smartphone, as long as we use the signature search engine. We only have to enter the name of the podcast in question that we want to listen to, and it should come out in results directly. What do you think about this function of the company?
