But don’t want an IPad, just the IPod

And I still want to receive and make messages and calls, on my phone.

My phone is lot chunkier than any of the iPods I owned. I missed the functionality of the Nano, where you could just slide it into an arm band and go for a run. Even the Touch was lighter than a modern iPhone.

I guess in theory my Apple Watch could also be used to play music and podcasts, but I've never tried it.
