Notifications while listening to podcasts

Turn on message notifications while listening to podcasts?

When I'm listening to podcasts, my iPhone 12 doesn't play a sound to notify me of messages arriving. It does vibrate, but I don't always feel that if it's eg in a bag or pocket. Is there a way to say, yes, I really DO want to be interrupted with alerts? I can't find one either in Settings or by searching online. Thanks.

It is not on a focus, phone is up to date. Awareness is turned off. These were recommendations on another question of the subject that did not seem to be solved.

I need to be interrupted when listening to podcast and books.



iPhone 12, iOS 16

Turned on the Siri option for headphones and seems to be working. Thanks for all the help…
