I use Downcast to aggregate the podcasts I listen to.

I support any additional podcast options through the Sonos App as the iOS podcast app is not very dependable.

+1 Please improve the podcasting Sonos functionality or supporting AirPlay.

I have a fairly large sonos system and generally Iove it. However, these days I listen to podcasts just as much as music, probably more. It's pretty ridiculous that I place my phone on top of my play 1 and listen to the podcast out of my phone speaker. I've been waiting for real podcast support for years at this point. Starting to think maybe sonos just isn't right for me if they're not going to implement a fix for this obvious oversight.

And btw, the current implementation through the apple podcast app doesn't remember your spot in the podcast, so it's useless.

I want to listen to more podcasts as well but it's true that the current podcast integration within Sonos is flawed.

As is mentioned what would be needed is a podcast aggregator/supplier to submit their service into Sonos but I guess the real problem is that as far as I know there is no subscription podcast service and as there's no money to write such an interface

I too use downcast to listen to podcast, while it may be possible if they are downloaded to my phone, I’m not sure, +1 for adding downcast 🙂
