HomePod Mini: Siri can't find local radio station

Hi everyone,

I know this topic has already been discussed, but In the old replies I can't find a case that is identical to mine.

I would like to listen to a local radio station on my HomePod Mini.

That station is available on TuneIn, but NOT on Apple Music [why???] so Siri can't seem to find it.

I know I can use the TuneIn app with Airplay to send the stream to the HomePod and use the latter as a speaker, but that seems absurd to me. I don't want to have to use my iPhone (and install another app) to do something I should be able to do with the HomePod. Is there a way to make Siri find that station?

This is very annoying since I bought the HomePod mainly to listen to the radio in the kitchen ***

Thanks in advance for your help!
