I hate podcasts on youtube music! For one thing, the maximum speed is 2X. Far too slow! To be clear, listening to podcasts is the least important part of my day. I need to finish them as quickly as possible and then get on with more important things. Preferably I will do the more important thing at the same time, like eat lunch. 3X minimum for podcasts. Time is money, people!
I recognize that I am weird and that most people do not listen to podcasts at triple speed. But seriously, this transition to youtube is not at all seamless. I have no idea what order or logic the podcasts appear in my list of shows, but it certainly isn't newest first. To get that you go into youtube's autogenerated playlist of new episodes. This has two major drawbacks. First, it does not auto-refresh. I need to leave the playlist and then come back to see new episodes. This wastes my time for no reason. More importantly, though, is that it is presented with the most recent episodes first. This makes sense visually I guess because it puts the most recent episodes at the top. It also means that everything plays in reverse chronological order! Only demons, people who work at the DMV and other inhuman monsters would choose to listen to things this way. Youtube's new podcast offering is clearly designed for aliens and thus, I shall now need to waste my time searching for a podcast replacement. I would use Google for this, only:

gmail is the only thing they have left to ruin.
