Having a one-stop shop for audio is something that some Android users might want, and for those that want to have their podcasts in the same app as their music, Google has an option coming down the pipe. On Tuesday, October 27, Google made it official: The company is building podcast support into Google Play Music for Android users. Once the feature goes live, Android users will be able to search for podcasts within the app, and Google will event help users find new ones based on what you’re doing, or what a user is interested in. Right now, Google is allowing podcasters to upload their content to Google Play Music ahead of the public launch, which is scheduled for later this year. As it stands right now, here’s a list of the podcasts that are currently uploaded and waiting to be listened to once the service gets the green light:

As far as when the service will go live, Google didn’t provide a hard launch date, but says it is coming in “the coming months.”
