New Google Podcasts VS Youglish

In reaction to the recent news that Google plan to shut down Google Podcasts and roll it into YouTube Music, I made a couple of comments on the announcement. I realized that I should probably share them here as well. Any further thoughts will be shared in separate posts. Source: 7 months ago

I had no idea that the Panama Canal required fresh water. Peak price being paid for canal passage is $900k https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly92aWRlby1hcGkud3NqLmNvbS9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcy93c2ovd2hhdHMtbmV3cw%3D%3D&episode=YjkxMGQxZWUtNTYwYy0xMWVlLWEwODMtZmI4Mjg3NjRmN2U3. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

I've tried: - Restarting my phone - reinstalling Google podcasts - Using my second Google account (same thing) - Trying from https://podcasts.google.com/ on my Desktop. Source: 10 months ago

Do any of you guys have issue with the podcasts.google.com when trying to listen to podcasts? When I try to press "subscriptions", "queue" or any other parts of the left menu I can't seem to be able to press them! It's almost like they're not there. The only part on the left side that I can press is the hamburger icon at the top of the left corner.. Source: 11 months ago

Thanks to those suggesting other Art-like podcasts, I will check them out. The best Art Bell podcast archive I have found is titled "art bell tape vault" even has a website. The audio quality of that archive seems the best too. I use podcasts.google.com to listen to them. Source: about 1 year ago

Forvo to hear isolated recordings of words, YouGlish to hear them in context. Source: 10 months ago

Not a solution, but somewhat related: https://youglish.com/ lets you search YouTube videos for keywords, but the purpose is to find examples of how to pronounce words from real usage. It also works for a few other languages aside from English. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

I recommend services listen2english.com and Youglish As a starting point for listening to the words and topics of interest. Random movies are not very effective in my opinion. It is better to listen to less, but exactly what you need at this point in your life. Source: 11 months ago

I recommend word search services on YouTube. Examples: listen2english.com and Youglish. They are good because you can find what you need to listen to at the moment. Source: 11 months ago
