Re-integrate Podcasts to Music app, please

[gordol]

Think there is any possibility of the Music app regaining the ability to play Podcasts?

I'm a bit eclectic, with an hour-and-a-half commute. I like to listen to my podcasts on my drive in to work in the morning, but only whole podcasts. So what I'd like to be able to do, so I don't have to switch apps while driving, is queue up a podcast to my "Play Next" queue, so my drive would consist of a song, one or two podcasts (depending on how long they are), followed by music for the rest of the drive.

I don't mind arriving at work before a song ends, songs are short enough that I can either sit in the car until it ends, or restart it later. Not really an option when talking being about halfway through an hour-long podcast.

It's possible but I doubt that it's the direction Apple is headed with its Music app.
You might want to submit feedback to Apple.

Right. I personally don't want podcasts mixed with my music app.

You don't have to mix them they would be separate but in one app. Trying to think back to when they WERE mixed if you could make a playlist with both types of media-- but I can't remember!
