I can use AirPlay with my brand new Sonos speaker.

Are you talking about some other way to stream it?

It used to be the case that your phone showed up as a source if you were using the Sonos app on that phone. You could play podcasts or any files that were stored on your device. Now you can't. They added AirPlay to newer hardware but older hardware can't do it. For example my ZP100, the original Sonos player (which still is supported 15 years after it was first marketed), cannot do AirPlay.
