Google has launched a new feature that makes it easier for users to get news updates that are customised as per their interests. The company today announced that it is bringing its Your News Update feature to Google Podcasts, which is the company’s dedicated platform for podcasts.

Users can get personalised news updates, which includes local news, in the Google Podcasts app by subscribing to Your News Updates in the Explore tab of the app. Google says that once users subscribe to Your News Updates feed, they can listen to a mix of short news stories chosen in that moment based on their interests, location, user history and preferences.
