Podcast control on Macbook using apple watch

Hello,

is there possibility to control podcast app in my macbook pro using apple watch? I try it using now playing app but it is not working. For example if I play song on spotify using my macbook I can control spotify using apple watch. But if I play podcast on macbook there is no chance to control it using watch. Any advice? Thank you

MacBook Pro 15″, OS X 10.10

Podcasts keeps opening on watch—I want Now Playing to open Before the watchOS 8 update, I would use Now Playing to control audio playback for Music, Podcasts, Patreon. The only time the Podcasts app would ever open on my watch is if I tapped it by accident. Now... Podcasts opens alongside Now Playing, and I can't figure out how to stop Podcasts from loading. If I close Podcasts, it reopens. I did find the setting under Display & Brightness > Auto-Launch Audio Apps, which would presumably stop Podcasts from opening (but would also stop Now Playing. Not ideal). If I tap the little Now Playing icon at the top of the watch face, it inexplicably opens Podcasts. Now Playing also seems stuck on defaulting to controlling what's on the watch. My content is always coming from the phone. There don't seem to be a way to configure settings for Now Playing. I'm going to turn off Auto-Launch Audio Apps for now, but if anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear them. Thanks!

Alternative podcast apps for Apple Watch? I have been using the Apple standard podcast on my watch when I run. However lately I have had difficulty getting any of the episodes to load on to the watch. The last week now haven't worked at all as the last episodes that have sync'd are November 12. Nothing has sync's since. I have unsubscribed, deleted then resubscribed to start over and that wasn't worked. As a result I have just given up and am now looking for an alternative pod cast app. Any suggestion? What have others used? Better results with the alternative? Thanks
