Google Podcasts Question...
 

Say a podcast is released, and you click download for listening to later - Then the original episode gets deleted / pulled for some reason, does your downloaded podcast also get deleted from your phone?

Google Podcasts app - Android

If a podcast is removed from the hosting platform, it will no longer be available for new listeners to download. If you have already downloaded episodes of the podcast to your phone, you will still be able to listen to them. However, if the hosting platform deletes the podcast's RSS feed, the episodes will no longer be available for download and the podcast will be removed from any podcast app.

uhh ohhh

No, nothing nefarious. I know (obviously) that if I download a file from a site to my PC that I still have the file should the original be deleted from the server...

But with podcasts, as it's all downloaded 'in app' I wasn't 100% sure if that meant that the file would also be deleted from your phone...

That's all.
