google assistant has built in podcast support (as you'd expect), which means my phone has built in podcast support... but you can only find new podcasts by speaking to it (ones you have already found can be played fine)
-
also some podcasts it can find, others it can't, not sure why or how to investigate. overall, a victory for composable software and open standards.

also, if anyone knows how to make my phone play a playlist (or a Daily Mix!) on spotify or a podcast as an alarm, please let me know.
