If podcasts have been configured in the SBS (via "Extras"), it is not possible to play them from the Radio directly.  This is different from the Boom (and other "Slim") players where you can navigate to the podcasts and play them from the device itself.

Marking as enhancement, though in a way it could be argued it is a regression in functionality.

I understand a applet may be available to do this, but IMO it should be possible out of the box, like it is with the Boom.
