Google Play Music to reportedly launch podcasts Apr 18

Podcasts have been rumored to come to Google Play Music for a long time now, and it looks like that wait is finally over. As noticed by Android Police, NPR sent a newsletter out to member partners that said podcasts would come to Google Play Music on April 18, Engadget reports.

It's not concrete confirmation, but this seems like pretty solid evidence that Google Play Music will get a missing feature filled in soon, Engadget says.

There aren't many other details to be gleaned from NPR's accidental disclosure; the newsletter says that podcasts will be coming to Android as well as "other platforms," the technology news website says.

The feature will probably roll out on iOS and the web as well.
