Pocketcasts STILL not syncing and still no solution?

I’m having issues whereby nothing in the Sonos Pocketcast plugin is syncing too or from my Pocketcast app / account. I see this was a problem previously but threads have been closed for comment, but a quick search of the internet shows this is still a problem for other users also. Is there a solution?

Have you asked Pocketcast? They own the syncing, not Sonos.

Also looking for a solution. Pocket Cast is not working with Sonos 11/16/25

Yeah there are multiple posts over on their support forums, as well as here, going all the way back to the re-engineering of the sonos app. As you might expect both companies essentially point the finger at the other. They really need to hop on a bridge call together, potentially with some of the impacted end users, and try to work it out from both sides. It’s very frustrating as it seems to me neither one has much of an incentive to dig very deeply.  

As a work-around, ios users can use the airplay functionality, and android users can use the (paid) app ‘Air Music’ from the play store to stream the audio directly from the phone, which is far from ideal but does work relatively well.

As he suggests, PockeCasts owns the process of syncing the data, not Sonos. 
 

If you read the documentation at the Sonos partners page, as ​@controlav has done (having written his own interface for Sonos’ system), you’ll find that Sonos writes the API that others use, and each ‘plug in’ streamer owns the data. Sonos doesn’t have access to PockeCast’s code, nor their servers, so asking them to ‘do’ something seems challenging.
