Certain BBC Sounds podcasts will not play on Sonos

The title should of course refer to BBC

I like to play podcasts from BBC Sounds on my Sonos system. Normally these work just fine but if the podcast is flagged as having adult themes or strong language all I get is the warning message “What you’re about to hear contains adult themes and strong language” repeated over and over and the podcast itself never plays.

Other podcasts from BBC Sounds play just fine and I can play those with the warning on other devices.

It’s really frustrating and I’ve been unable to track down a solution.

@MalcolmS,
The podcast is working okay here too on our S1 system v11.5 build 571231030. I’m also based in the UK. Maybe it’s something local, perhaps try a different DNS in your router configuration pages and see if that might make a difference.

Note that ultimately you’re most likely going to need to talk to the BBC. They’re the ones responsible for what content shows up on what platforms. It’s not a “choice” by each platform.

Sure, I have an open ticket with them and they asked me to try certain things and report back...
