HomePod

For the longest time I could ask Siri on my HomePod to play a particular Podcast by name. Siri would reply to me identifying the Podcast and then start playing it.

Now when I ask for a certain Podcast to be played, Siri simply states "here's Apple Podcast" and plays anything in my followed shows list.

I have reset HomePod to try to return to the original way but no luck. It continues to play anything on my list from my iPhone XR.

Is there a setting I'm missing? I don't remember changing any settings before this new behavior took hold.

I'd appreciate any assistance on how to get Siri and HomePod to play what I ask.

This is most likely a temporary issue but you can try a few things:

First try just power cycling the HomePod.

Sign out oIf iCloud, then Restart HomePod from the Home App. After it restarts (the white swirling light completes) sign back in
