Hello,

Sonos can play podcasts if they have been downloaded to the streaming device or a computer but does not have a partnership with Downcast specifically.

Let us know if you have further questions.

@Tom - They haven't, but I got both to "talk" on Twitter. Downcast said they'd look into the API, but nothing as of yet.

Yes please! I would also buy a Sonos setup if this was enabled.

I'm an Overcast.fm man myself. Is it possible to do this without Sonos? Does Sonos not offer an API or SDK? It would seem to be in their interest to do so.
