Podcasts in the music app?

Looks like it's been removed, unfortunately.
Whoever thought it would be a better idea to have 4 apps (video, music, podcasts, & iTunesU) instead of 1 should be fired.
If someone finds a work-around you'll be blessed!

They removed podcasts from the Music player shortly after they released the standalone Podcast app last year as I recall.
I found this article which reminded me...

Last year when you installed the standalone podcast app it removed podcasts from the Music player. In iOS 7 they must be gone for good (from the music player).

Yeah, they originally removed it a while back (a year or so), but you could add it back in by synching your podcasts through iTunes with no Podcast or iTunesU installed on the phone.
I did that and have been running podcasts and iTunesU content through Music successfully since then.
...until now

Actually I didn't even realize there was a podcasts app for a while and never installed it. the music app played podcasts just fine. Welp now looks like I don't have a choice. Even better I can't download the podcast app because the store is swamped right now.
I've just come across this annoyance with IOS7 too 
as an avid Podcast listener - I do quite like syncing via Itunes as I find it easy to manage that way
also I listen/watch some on my computer via Itunes and some on the hop on the phone - this is much harder now too as my local Itunes on computer now has no downloaded podcasts ?
unless I am missing something ?
in fact I can't even seem to get the Podcasts app to work properly on my Iphone it just seems to hang on entry into the app - shows my list of subscriptions but then freezes ?

I'm having the same issue, glad and not glad to see at the same that other people are having that issue.
Can't believe there hasn't been an iOS 7 re-design of the podcasts app yet. Hopefully they release an update within the week. Seems like something that should have been there launch day though.
