Control Podcasts in MacOS using Apple Watch

Is it possible to control the Podcasts app, running in MacOS, using Apple Watch? I tried using the watch's Now Playing app, also to use the watch's Podcasts app, and the built-in Remote app, without any success. It seems to me this feature of controlling audio with Apple Watch, is working only for the Music library, but this Apple Discussions' issue points out that also Spotify tracks are working, so it's not limited to Apple Music.
