Airplay streaming on Sonos

Am considering getting a Sonos Play 1 for the bedroom & maybe another for the kitchen, both mainly for listening to the radio. One other thing I'd like to do is send podcasts from the podcast app on my iPhone, but I don't think the Sonos supports it.

Does anyone know of a way of listening to podcasts from the phone on Sonos, or should I maybe just go for a bluetooth or airplay speaker?

    If the podcasts are downloaded on your phone, then you can access them from the This iPhone section of your Sonos app, otherwise to airplay content to a Sonos, youll need a Sonos component with an auxiliary input, either a Play 5 or a Sonos Connect, then connect an Apple Airport Express to the aux input, select it for Airplay on your phone, and select Line-in on the Sonos app and away you go, obviously its a bigger expense needing a more expensive Sonos component, along with the purchase of the Airport Express, just depends how much you want that feature I suppose, its a setup I use and one that is outlined on the Sonos website for this very purpose

    This post is in pun! but I am knocking on 50! Why is everything these days so complicated! Sometimes I just long for the rotary tuner dial and cassette player! :-):-)

    Joke Over :-)

    Many thanks for that lamzo10, I hadn't spotted the 'This iPhone' option, so you have saved me a small fortune as that's exactly what I'm looking for! :)
