Google Podcasts is an application to play a massive collection of podcasts from various genres. You can enable dark mode on Google Podcasts to have a new experience and to reduce the effects of screen lights. The Dark Mode feature is available only on the Android app. Woefully, there is no in-built feature to turn on night mode on the iOS app and browser.
