Apple Watch users haven't been able to listen to podcasts via the device unless they've had an iPhone nearby. That's because Apple has yet to release a podcast app for the Apple Watch, and it's limited developers' ability to create their own podcast apps. But two developers recently released new — if imperfect — apps that allow users to listen to podcasts via an Apple Watch without an iPhone around. App developers have finally fixed one of the biggest shortcomings of the Apple Watch — its inability to play podcasts without an iPhone near by. Unfortunately, their solutions, while welcome, aren't exactly ideal. The big new feature on the latest version of the Apple Watch is that you can connect it to the cellular networks, allowing you to untether it completely from an iPhone.
