How the heck to I get a podcast onto my Venu sq Music? Did I waste the extra money to get the Music edition?!

I have tried the Spotify app - what a joke. I can't get a single thing to sync with that, it just drains the battery and eventually fails.

So I decided to just use my computer and put a podcast on manually just so I could use the dang thing and I can find literally NO WAY to download a podcast onto my computer.

Also - Why oh why do I need to be both bluetooth linked to my phone AND on a wireless network to try to sync something onto my watch? If I'm attached to my phone, I shouldn't need a different connection to download something, and if I'm using my wifi, I shouldn't have to carry around my dang phone.

If you want to move audio files to the watch you must use Garmin Express.

Spotify works perfectly on my watch. Maybe the issue here is your wifi. Make sure that you got 2.4 GHz enabled. Appareantly the watches can only use that and not a 5 GHz wifi. I got both on a mesh network…

I appreciate that, however the problem is that I haven't found a way to get an audio file of a podcast onto my computer so I can put it on the watch. On a computer you can't download a podcast for off-line listening. You can do it on your phone, but somehow you can't just send audio files from your phone to your watch. The Spotify app is broken and won't sync. The Amazon app doesn't have podcast support. It's SO FRUSTRATING.

I got both on a mesh network and they both got the same SSID and it works. Some people say that you should set a separate SSID for each frequency...but I don't know...it works for me.
