Yeah, for now. I used to be able to split my screen and have YouTube running in the background while in other apps, until they took that away in an update.
As a free user on Android, I'm able to use YT in PiP mode with any non-music video. Also FWIW, I doubt YT Music will ever have enough monopolistic control over the podcast industry to take away such fundamental functionality.
