"Personal" Patreon podcast links won't play anymore (OS 14.1)

As part of a Patreon subscription I get a "Personal" podcast link which I've added to the Apple Podcast app and the podcast shows up on all my Mac and iOS devices.

Up until yesterday when I updated from HomePod OS 13 to 14 I could ask my HomePod to "Play Good Day Internet podcast" and it would use that link in my library and play this podcast.


As of the update it says "I didn't find that on Apple Podcasts."

There doesn't seem to be any way to get the HomePod to play this podcast feed (other than Airplay from my iPhone/iPad).


Any Suggestions?


HomePod, 14

Thanks for the reply, turns out the podcast won't even play in a shortcut....

When creating the shortcut the shortcut app even suggests playing this podcast as a task I'm likely to want to do, and lets me add it to a shortcut... But when I try to run the shortcut on my iPad I get "Unable to Play Podcast - Unable to play podcast because an unknown error occurred." Keep in mind that this podcast will play no problem on the iPad in the podcast app.

Adding a different Patreon "Personal" podcast has the same effect (in shortcuts and on the HomePod). Adding a "normal" podcast works.
