[Podcasts] Download and play podcasts on Samsung Gear smart watch.

[MBRK]

The spotify app for the Samsung Galaxy watch does not allow users to download and listen to podcasts on the watch while not connected to wifi/another device. While users can download music (songs, playlists, etc) and listen to it straight from the watch (e.g. while running), this is not possible with podcasts.

Tienen que agregar los PODCAST en los Samsung Gear, se hace necesario, no solo se puede escuchar música al realizar deporte.

Is there any update on this issue? Idea with over 500 votes is not implemented while ideas with 5 or 10 votes are. Doesn't make any sense.

over 2 years and nothing done about this? How is this not implemented already????

Spotify doesn't care about the little guy (or the big guy judging by what they're paying per stream to artists). So I finally just upped and canceled our family plan.

If everyone followed suit they may get the message and start implementing stuff their users ask for rather than what some developer feels like.

It would be a very much appreciated option to be able to download podcasts to my Samsung Gear Sport 2 watch.

I bought a Galaxy Watch Active 2 today, specially for listen to podcast while I’m exercising without my phone, this is really disapointing. I have seen the first comment on 2019, two years ago, and the last comment from the Spotify moderator since y one month ago.

I want to believe.

Just FYI for anyone still having issues with this, I downloaded the latest version of th espotify wearable app, and it now seems to work for podcasts for me, e.g. Joe Rogan (JRE) podcast in offline!

Wooo hooo!

Unfortunately even if everything's updated I still can't see podcasts on Galaxy Watch 4 Classic. The only "workaround" is to create a manual playlist, download all the podcasts and then play it. BUT it reports as "0 songs" which means I can't select which podcast to play. For that I need to switch to a third party app and then I can click "next" BUT there's no list of podcasts or anything like that.
