When I ask my watch to play podcast and certain radio stations it responds with the following message: "To listen Apple Podcasts, you'll need to accept the latest privacy agreement." Where is the agreement, and how do I accept it?
Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 9
Call me crazy, but I think it is related to an Apple Music policy. Open the Apple Music app on your watch, and go through the start screens, then the podcast app should start working properly. This worked for me at least

Thanks for your response. The message I receive results from a request for a podcast (the message I sent in the first question) or to Apple Music. Both refer to an Apple Privacy Agreement that I cannot find the existence of. The message definitely refers to an Apple-originated agreement. There is no link or other instruction included with the message I get on the watch.
This happens to me too when I ask Siri to play Apple Podcasts on my iPhone via AirPods Pro….. it works fine when I manually play podcasts….
it’s annoying because there is no privacy agreement to accept. Presumably I accepted it when I installed the last iOS update. It’s a built-in app!
So today the Privacy prompt appeared… finally…. And I accepted it. Problem resolved.
I pressed on the Siri text that said "To listen Apple Podcasts, you'll need to accept the latest privacy agreement." I don’t know if that helped. also i opened my phone to the Home Screen; then, finally the prompt appeared there.
it’s like Waiting for Godot
Thanks to all who replied. Things are finally working for me, but I have to say that it required the opening of Apple Music several times on different occasions before the fix finally took. If Apple wants me to agree to something, there should be a way to directly respond to the request and not have to futz around playing with the apps.
thanks so much! This actually helped me. I’ve had the same issue playing Apple Podcasts via Siri in my car lately. After reading this I used Siri with my phone open, it said the same thing, click on the wording “you’ll have to accept the privacy policy” and up popped the privacy policy which I was finally able to accept and now it works.
Thanks! I was having the issue on my phone and opening Apple Music seems to have fixed the problem.
Oh wow. That is a terrible user experience. I don't use Apple Music much on my phone, I use Podcasts. It works never occur to me that I had to open Apple Music to accept the privacy agreement for Podcasts. Shouldn't both apps ask to accept it?
If it is an Apple Podcast then --> Look for any notifications or prompts regarding pending agreements or terms that need acceptance related to Podcasts or privacy.
Else...

TigerMarc, when I saw your latest message it gave me great hope and I tried it. However, despite several attempts it is still a no go.
I have the same issue
That worked!
