If you are a music lover in Kenya, you have a reason to celebrate. YouTube Music, the streaming service from Google, is now available in here! This is a big deal because it expands the options for music lovers in Africa, where Spotify has been the dominant player so far.
YouTube Music is not just about music, though. It also lets you access podcasts, which is convenient for those who used to rely on Google Podcasts. Google announced that it will shut down its podcast app in 2024 and advised users to switch to YouTube Music instead.
