Podcasts listened to on iphone run down my iwatch. Any way to disconnect just the podcast from iwatch?

when I play a podcast or use my iphone as gps on road trip, my iwatch battery runs down. Is there a way to stop the iwatch from mirroring podcasts, maps and audio books? I know I could turn off bluetooth on iwatch, but then would not receive messages or phone calls.

Did you already check the settings for audio books and podcasts inside your Watch App on the phone?

Not using the custom settings might help, to keep the watch from syncing content from the iPhone.

Also make sure, to switch off the podcast stations, if you enabled the custom settings for podcasts.
