I think I must be being thick… but how do I play BBC sounds output from history, ie any BBC Sounds material other than live radio? It’s trivial on the web - you just pick what you want from the schedule - but I can’t find the schedule in any of my Sonos apps.
Please point out where I’m being stupid, please.
BBC Sounds - how to play non-live content?

In the Sonos app, if you scroll down from Listen Live, do you have further categories such as My Sounds, Podcasts, categories, etc? E.g Categories/ Browse all speech/ audiobooks lists all audiobooks currently available.

Found it all now - it’s far from obvious - and not laid out very logically.
The way the content is laid out is determined by the BBC. Are you using a large-screen device (eg iPad) or a small screen device (eg iPhone)? Or the desktop controller which doesn’t do layouts at all?
PC desktop mainly -but also android phone. I have found what I want… it’s buried about seven layers down with lots of scrolling….. If it is the BBC they should be ashamed - if I want a programme from yesterday on BBC sounds on my desktop PC, it’s three clicks to go to the radio station schedule, the right day, the right programme.
I do agree - it’s not intuitive. I don’t use Sounds, but if I did I’d certainly want an easy schedule based format as well as all the other ways of finding programmes.

Can’t you just Search for the show you are looking for?
+23Ah yes the desktop app is a bit lame these days, doesn;t get any love. My Windows app (see profile) shows this for your search:
