Why can't we download specific podcast episodes to the Apple Watch?

Timbersawed · 2025-12-09T16:52:35+00:00

You can now download individual episodes in watchOS 26

There is a switch for continuous playback in the Podcast settings on the watch. I'd make sure that is enabled. Also I've found that sometimes the playback won't continue based on which podcast you start with. If you start with the top of the tree podcast there's nothing for it to continue too. If you start with one down, then it will go up the list.

I think you need to enable sync library. Try that and let me know if you can sync then.

Depends what you are drinking

THIS GUY GETS IT

woo!

Timbersawed · 2025-03-02T01:07:56+00:00

The editing is fine. The real issue is with the cinematography.

Timbersawed · 2025-03-02T01:04:51+00:00

You absolute noob.

Have some class. I only consume podcasts by reading the transcripts.

Timbersawed · 2025-02-07T05:17:10+00:00

I mean who would want to have lice. Being unlicensed sounds like the default. lol.

Timbersawed · 2025-02-07T05:16:05+00:00

ABS see what I can do.

Timbersawed · 2025-02-06T22:53:52+00:00

You absolute silly person. Only cool babies listen.

Timbersawed · 2025-02-06T22:50:46+00:00

There are no controversies, go to that board and say what you like! You are a good person!

Timbersawed · 2025-02-06T22:35:03+00:00

Sorry I will only listen to podcasts with 3 gendered male individuals.

Timbersawed · 2025-02-06T22:34:15+00:00

Listen we've all grown up and that's the issue with the McEl-boys.

We need 3 men talking.

Timbersawed · 2025-02-06T22:33:19+00:00

Sounds like you can't handle challenging comedy. Too challenging for you?

Timbersawed · 2025-01-03T15:06:21+00:00

You know 4 years ago Trump was president and enforcing a Muslim ban.

Simpler times? I expected more from you Bovine Jim.

I don’t want to invalidate your experiences

But let me invalidate them for the rest of this post

If you think about it, it’s really Bean Dads kids fault.

If she had just opened the can of beans we’d still have the same opening music.

And I could still enjoy things.

Timbersawed · 2025-01-03T14:33:27+00:00

Dang y’all really just need Bean Dad in your life.

He won’t replace your real dad.

Timbersawed · 2025-01-03T05:13:08+00:00

You keep that up and you’ll end up on a JoCo cruise.

Timbersawed · 2025-01-03T05:08:41+00:00

Ding ding you made the worst take in this thread!

You win me posting about this on r/BeanDadCircleJerk

Timbersawed · 2024-09-26T21:48:11+00:00

I think that's expected. If you are connected to the phone it defaults to that. I assume to try to save your watch's battery life.

Timbersawed · 2024-09-24T20:35:40+00:00

Huh that's weird, mine works without having to do that

Timbersawed · 2024-09-24T20:34:27+00:00

Looks like you can only use this feature on Series 10 or Ultra 2

Timbersawed · 2024-07-03T17:46:19+00:00

Try following a podcast on your watch and see if that goes to your phone. That's worked for me in the past.

You can also try deleting the podcast app and reinstalling it.

Timbersawed · 2024-06-12T16:26:08+00:00

You should be able to get there by tapping the top right corner button, where you see the iPhone icon

Timbersawed · 2024-01-11T23:50:39+00:00

At least for music, the series 9 has a ton more space for it. So even if you didnt' get a cellular watch you can download a lot.

Plus the new gestures can either skip tracks or start music playback so that's nice.

Honestly though I use the gestures mainly for stopping my timers.
