Chapter 14

Groovin’ on a Sunday (or Any Other) Afternoon

IN THIS CHAPTER

Add and play music with your Apple Watch

Listen to radio stations on Apple Watch

Find podcasts using your iPhone

Play podcasts with your Apple Watch

One of my favorite things to do with my Apple Watch is to play my favorite tunes and “shake my booty,” as it were. I can’t claim to be especially good at the aforementioned booty-shaking (I’m quite awful, if truth be told), but I can dance like nobody’s watching if I pretend I’m Prince or Fred Astaire when the sounds move my soul.

Apologies to both of the superstars I mentioned if I’ve somehow tainted their legacies by association.

Using Bluetooth headphones or earbuds, your Apple Watch will let you listen to music, live radio, and podcasts — and in some cases, without your iPhone being in the near vicinity. Please commence to turning the pages in this chapter so that I may impart to you the magic of music (and other audio) played from the convenience of your wrist.
