LOS ANGELES: Google says it's making it much easier to find – and listen to – podcasts. The Internet giant is now surfacing podcast episodes in search results based on an analysis of the topics in a given show, and will let users play back the podcast right from the results page.
All told, according to Google, its index now spans more than 2 million podcasts across the Web. Now, when you search for a podcast about a topic on Google (such as "instant pot recipe podcasts") show you playable episodes in search results alongside web pages, news, images and videos.
