Google first announced it was adding podcasts to Play Music back in October last year, but has yet to reveal an actual launch date. Now, there's a possibility it might be this February, the Verge reports.

Google has already got a number of podcasts and networks to sign on to the service, including 5by5, HBO, Nerdist, and StartTalk Radio. The company also says it'll offer contextual recommendations for listeners, suggesting podcasts based on their interests. Whether that will be enough to differentiate Google's offering from the many podcast apps out there is anyone's guess.
