After first teasing the feature over five months ago, podcasts are now ready for your ears inside of ay Music.

unveiled the feature Monday by highlighting several groups of related podcasts, similar to how the service hles music curation. A report that would do so, linked to a leaked N email, turned out to be dead on.

dcasts are already live in the web version of ay Music, though it appears you’ll need to wait for the usual staggered app update rollout for the feature to hit Android. In announcing the new feature, ay oduct Manager Ilia Malkovitch highlighted some of the groupings that may appeal to you. 

Try “arning Something New” to talk about at a dinner party listen to our favorite episodes from Stuff You Should Know or How To Do Everything. Enjoy a Sunday afternoon by “Getting st in a Story” with episodes from Radiolab or Reply l, or relax after a long day by “ughing Out ud” to Maron’s F or Hardwick’s The Nerdist.

You don’t need a subscription to ay Music streaming to check out any of the offerings, though you will have to put up with advertisements in the app’s interface.

y this matters: ay is a major piece of the company’s digital strategy, adding podcasts has been a major hole. As we’ve highlighted before there are several good podcast apps to be found if you’d rather not switch over to another app, particularly if the podcast you’re looking for isn’t yet available.
