  when playing a podcast on the Apple Watch and listening through AirPods, playback pauses after a few seconds, this is playing a podcast directly through the watch. It’s not clear what is causing the issue.

  Hi there, @gfxl

  That’s really odd!

  Please send through to us your logs from your Watch. To do so, please:

  • Open the Pocket Casts iPhone app, and go to Profile > Help & Feedback.
  • Before tapping “Get in touch”, open the Pocket Casts app on your Apple Watch.
  • Tap “Get in touch,” then “Get Support.” The email that comes up should have two attachments. One will be the phone log and the other will be the watch log.

  We’ll get back to you via email once that has been done :)
