Podcast playback isn't natively supported on Apple Watch, which annoys me greatly. However, there are some workarounds. My best advice is to google it; you'll find everything from getting the episodes as MP3s and syncing them like music, to apps that may or may not still exist/be accessible, and more. Which method(s) will work depends on how watchOS works at the moment, and which apps are around depends on that plus on whether Apple has called for those apps to alter their feature sets. I found a couple articles referencing Overcast, which I know has had to remove watchOS podcast playback since the time of writing. Good luck, and welcome to the world of Apple Watch! Apart from audio book and podcast support, I find Apple Watch to be quite nice and to do what I want. Hopefully you come to enjoy it as well. Here's hoping Apple *finally* wakes up and supports podcasts in watchOS 5 this year.
