iWatch no longer controls the podcasts playing on my iPhone 13.

In the past, when I started a podcast on my iPhone 13, my iWatch would automatically show the podcast that was selected and provide controls for changing volume, going forward or backward, speed and selection of the next podcast in my iPhone. That no longer happens. If I select "Podcasts" from my iWatch it now has an Loading.... message - then never loads.

PS I have the latest updates on both iPhone and iWatch.

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 9

I HATE that I can't control my podcasts or music on my watch. I often play podcasts while I'm working in my shop or washing dishes, and now if I'm interrupted, I have to get to my phone and deal with that.

This is one of the things I got the watch for and now you REMOVE this feature? WTF?????

Has anyone figured out a workaround for this? Or is Apple finally going to give us an update?
