Three months ago, Google expressed interest in bringing podcasts to the Play Store by housing the conversational content in Play Music. A handful of popular podcasts were brought in as official partners to get things started, but the company still hasn’t revealed when people can get all of their favorite podcasts from Google Play. Due to a comment from the host of a very popular podcast, it seems Google will offer podcasts through the Play Store by the end of this month.
HBO’s Bill Simmons tweeted this afternoon that Google Play’s podcast platform is coming in February.
FYI – the BS Podcast will be available on Google Play when GP launches its podcast platform later this month. https://t.co/mwWvuYyCTO

If there’s anyone to know this information outside of a Google employee, it’s someone like Bill Simmons. Millions of people listen to his podcast and his camp definitely wants to further distribution by getting on Google Play. Google’s digital store has north of 1 billion monthly active users, and the former ESPN employee and Grantland head wants to tap into that massive pool of people.
