Overcast can also play podcasts from the Watch without the phone. It's annoyingly slow to transfer, but it works.

Get it now, though. The developer has said the feature was a mistake to implement and is a pain in the ass to maintain, so it might be going away soon.

It’s going to be removed in Watch OS 4: https://twitter.com/OvercastFM/status/890236178238230533

Urg, that's unfortunate. This is totally baffling, Overcast is literally the only third-party app I use on my Watch, and it seems to be one of the only apps that was serious about Watch support. With watchOS struggling with dev support, you'd think Apple would be tripping over themselves to help out the few devs who actually use it.
