I just downloaded google podcast app. Did a search for corona, there are a bunch of results. Google is not a government entity, neither are all the podcasts I could find using it. I hope they will ban their own podcast app pretty soon.

Make sure you flag Google Podcasts as inappropriate, giving the references to coronavirus as the reason.
