The 麻豆社 requires platforms (such as Google鈥檚 Assistant) to meet certain conditions for 麻豆社 content to be available on their services. We seek to make our content as accessible to audiences as possible, but until it can be made available in a way that meets our Terms of Use and the 麻豆社鈥檚 Distribution Policy, certain 麻豆社 content will be unavailable through specific Google products.听
What is affected?
Listeners will have difficulty accessing 麻豆社 podcasts via the Google Podcast app and they will not be able to directly access 麻豆社 podcasts via the Google Assistant (Google Home).听聽
Where can listeners go instead?
In the UK, listeners will still be able to access our podcasts on the free 麻豆社 Sounds app and website. UK listeners using Google Home can continue to access 麻豆社 podcasts by casting from the 麻豆社 Sounds app聽or, if using a laptop, the 麻豆社 Sounds website on the Chrome browser. Outside the UK, listeners can access our podcasts on the 麻豆社 Sounds website (where casting is supported) and the 麻豆社 Sounds聽app (where available).
Are any other podcast services affected by this change?
No. This only affects Google.
