Listen to podcasts on Sonos
This article will show you how to listen to podcasts on Sonos. You can stream podcasts to Sonos directly from your device using AirPlay, Bluetooth, or direct control in a supported app. You can also use the Sonos app to search for podcasts using a supported service.
Stream podcasts using Bluetooth, AirPlay, or direct control
These methods let you stream podcasts directly from your device’s podcast app.
Bluetooth
Sonos products with Bluetooth support allow you to play audio from your Bluetooth-enabled device. Pair your Bluetooth-enabled device with Sonos, then start playing a podcast using your podcast app.
AirPlay
If you have a supported iOS or macOS device, you can stream any audio from that device directly to Sonos using AirPlay, including audio from your podcast app. See our article on using AirPlay with Sonos for more information.
Direct control
Services like Spotify and iHeartRadio support direct control. Direct control lets you play a podcast within the service’s app, then cast the audio directly to Sonos. Visit our Services page to find services that offer podcasts and support direct control to Sonos.
Stream podcasts from the Sonos app
Some services let you browse, search, and play podcasts from within the Sonos app. Not all services that provide podcasts will have their podcast catalogs available in the Sonos app via browsing or searching. If you can’t find the podcast you’re looking for in the Sonos app, we recommend using direct control or AirPlay.
Browse by service
From your Home screen of the Sonos app for iOS or Android, select a service that offers podcasts from Your Services, then browse to your podcast.
In the Sonos S1 Controller app for iOS or Android, you can find your list of added services in the Browse tab.
Search for podcasts
From your Home screen of the Sonos app for iOS or Android, select the Search & Browse bar and search for your podcast. You can narrow your search results to a specific content service by selecting the service’s name at the top of the screen.
In the Sonos S1 Controller app for iOS or Android, you can search for podcasts in the Search tab and filter by Podcasts & Shows at the top of the results.
