As you may know, the Google Podcasts app is shutting down soon. That means if you’re using the app to listen to your favorite podcasts, you’ll need to find a new app to switch to.

Google will soon be providing a way for you to export your podcast subscription data to another podcast app. This is known as an ‘OPML file’, which you’ll be able to download and upload to another podcast app that supports OPML import. 

We’ll update this article with specific instructions on how to do this on Google Podcasts when they offer this feature.

In the meantime, there are many choices for where you can listen to podcasts. Here’s a list of recommended podcast apps that give creators the most control over the ads and brands they want associated with their show.
