You can pair your AirPods (or other Bluetooth headphones) to your Apple Watch.


If you have a GPS only Apple Watch, then you can play anything you downloaded to your Apple Watch (music, Podcasts,...)


If you have a cellular Apple Watch, then again, anything you downloaded to your Apple Watch can be played via the AirPods, and anything that your Apple Watch can stream can be played through your AirPods.

FYI: I have found that 3rd party podcast apps do a better job of transferring podcasts to the Apple Watch and managing the podcasts on your Apple Watch.
