This is the best summary I could come up with:
Google is killing off so many products lately we need to do a roundup or we won't get anything else done today.
YouTube has been slowly consuming all of Google's media properties, and podcasts completes the trinity along with videos (both amateur and scripted Hollywood content) and music.
This was announced on the official YouTube blog, if there was any question about the responsible party.
In 2024, Google Podcasts will die at 8 years old, if you want to count from the weird Google Search beginnings, but only has had the bare minimum feature set of a podcast service for four years.
If you've never heard of this, that's because it got a very small rollout to only Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden.
You can throw this shutdown into the pile of "Google price increases" this year.

The summary does not make sense because it skipped important parts
As this bot's summaries often do.
