Running 16.4.1 on all HomePods now podcasts won’t play. After asking “Siri” to play my latest podcast it replies “Sorry there’s a problem with Apple Podcasts” Tried resetting, no different.
For the last year one glitch follows another after each update! ‘Siri’ is a joke now! Apple certainly aren’t the “Quality” company they used to be!
Hey B1nzy,
Just to confirm, are you subscribed to Podcasts? If yes, let's try resetting your HomePod to see if it helps. First, remove HomePod from your device:
1. Open the Home app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac that's signed in with the Apple ID that you used to set up HomePod.
2. Tap or click HomePod.
3. Select the Settings iconor scroll down to HomePod settings.
4. Select Reset HomePod.
5. Select Remove Accessory.
Now reset your HomePod:
1. Unplug HomePod or unplug the power adapter for HomePod mini. Wait 10 seconds, then plug HomePod back in.
2. Wait 10 seconds, then touch your finger to the top of HomePod and hold it there.
3. The white spinning light will turn red. Keep your finger down.
4. Siri will say that your HomePod is about to reset. When you hear three beeps, you can lift your finger.
If this didn't help, you may need to reset your HomePod back to factory settings. To see how, check out this article: Reset HomePod or HomePod mini
Let us know how it goes!
Best regards.
