Podcasts on Apple Watch: Getting the latest episodes Hi, I am trying to get my watch to sync the latest podcast episodes I have selected on my iphone (Iphone>watch app>podcasts>custom...then I selected all the shows I want to sync). The watch does sync the selected shows, but NOT the latest episodes (which is what I want). It seems to get tripped up if I listen to part of an older episode downloaded onto my watch. Here's an example: a podcast I listen to has released episodes on the following dates: 5/4, 4/27, 4/20 and 4/13. The 5/4 episode is not on my watch as a download (despite the fact that today is 5/7 and I've sync'd multiple times since then). But the other 3 are. I think this is because I'm half way through the 4/13 episode - which is why I say the sync gets "tripped up" - it doesn't want to remove that episode until I'm done - which I dont care about). So again: How can I get the latest podcast episodes to sync? If there is no other option: I'm thinking maybe I can completely remove all podcasts from my watch every so often and resync - does anyone know the best/fastest way to do this? Thanks, Max

podcasts on watch 4 I can't get the podcasts downloaded to my iPhone to transfer to my watch 4 so that I can listen remotely without connection to Wi-Fi or iPhone. I have tried both default setting (episodes from Listen Now) and custom (select which shows for 3 episodes to be downloaded).

Problem with getting Podcasts from iPhone to iwatch Having been using Podcast app all the time. Then the following happened. Go to get podcast from i watch and the following message on i watch states"no podcasts." If I go to the iphone all of my podcasts are there. I can listen to them from iphone. The I watch app on the I phone also states the following "no podcasts". The "iPhone is linked to the "iwatch". I can listen to music from the iwatch etc..; however the podcast app is not linking to the the iwatch. Suggestion or help! I want to listen to the podcasts when running walking etc...!!

My best suggestion for Podcasts is to look at getting a 3rd party app for the Apple Watch. They do a better job of managing the podcasts on the Apple Watch and many do not require putting the Apple Watch on the charger to send podcasts to the Apple Watch.
