Hi there, chantelmcp. Thanks for posting and welcome to the Community. You can already listen to Apple Podcasts on Sonos. Check out this helpful article on how to stream podcasts from your phone, computer or the Internet.

Hi, I am trying to use Sonos to play apple podcasts also, but the link in the previous thread doesn't work. I get this error "Customer Portal is not enabled for this interface." Please help.

Hi mardisbagley,

We recently switched over to a new domain so some of our old links no longer work. I've updated the original link and you can also find that guide here.

@Jeff S, Thanks for the reply. I discovered that I have to download the podcast to the device using the native Apple app then find it in the Sonos library, "on this iPad". A bit laborious, but everything works fine now.

Is there any future in which you can simply stream podcasts from Apple without having to download to your device?? This is really clunky, time and data consuming too

I just want to echo that I would really want fully streaming Apple Podcasts.

Yes, it works if you follow the steps described in the link. But it's kinda janky.

One of the main reasons I purchased the Sonos system was to easily listen to Apple Podcasts in the morning when I'm in a rush, and it sorta negates the point of it if I need to go into the podcasts app and manually download the daily podcasts before jumping back to the Sonos app to play them.

Also, it often stops playing in the middle of the podcast episode and jumps to the next one. This doesn't happen for any of the streaming services I used on sonos. I'm assuming it's because it needs to stream from the podcast app downloaded files on my device and the connection can drop in the middle. It happens pretty often and is relatively annoying.

I've actually reverted back to my non-sonos Bluetooth speakers when using Apple Podcasts as a result of this --- which is pretty sad.

I am in the exact same boat. Primarily purchased to listen to joe rogan on my apple podcast. I use "tunein" to find the podcast, but at any given time I jump out of it, it will start the podcast from the beginning, very annoying. Debating if it's worth keeping this device.... 😞

I suggest trying PocketCasts
