      The current Podcasts app does, but Youtube doesn’t unless you pay for premium. After the migration, if that policy doesn’t change, google’s platform of the week will be useless for podcasts.

        YouTube Music is a different app altogether, on mobile devices at least.

      Google Podcasts does, but background play is a premium feature on YouTube Music.
