SE Penna.
I don’t get any notifications when new episodes are published. Happened on 13.0 as well as 13.1 - anyone else confirm?
 
Their podcast app is still kind of a mess, imo. Constantly have to manually download episodes when it's supposed to do so automatically, and when I do I have to start the download, stop it, and start it again for it to actually download anything. Hoped 13 would fix it, but alas...

Yeah you’re right. I really like the fact that I can listen via WiFi episodes on my watch. That way I can be working out in the basement with my phone upstairs. I sure hope they can give podcast app some love. I always submit bug reports but no real fixes. I like Overcast but it has watch sync issues.
 
Well today I tried their podcast app again. Now downloading happens automatically. Now I hope notifications work.
 
I've given up on the podcasts app for doing what it's actually supposed to do. I only use it to listen to two podcasts that both have a normal release schedule so it doesn't really bother me that much.
 
Just dropped a bug report to Apple. I don't get any notifications when new episodes are available.
 
Come to think of it I haven't gotten any podcast notifications since upgrading. I just keep track by going into the App.
Yep. And I know it worked before iOS 13 so maybe Apple will soon address it. One thing since 13.1.1 is episodes are now downloading without having to open the app.
