Rule of Google: if it works, kill it.

I know, I know, using Google apps isn't the best, but this was a perfectly good Podcast app with all the features you might want.

Apparently they're moving everything over to YouTube Music, where a lot of the features of Google Podcasts aren't implemented yet.

I've moved over to an app from F-Droid.

Pixel Pass

Killed 8 months ago, Pixel Pass was a program that allowed users to pay a monthly charge for their Pixel phone and upgrade immediately after two years. It was almost 2 years old.

Well, that seems particularly scummy.

They did allow users to upgrade once first.

That's good. The article linked to by the graveyard made it seem like they didn't.
