Siri commands to control Apple Music

Any simple way to ask Siri to switch from a running Podcast to Apple Music without resetting my “Up Next” music list, nor jumping to the next Podcast?

Very frustrating behaviour...

iPhone 8, iOS 11, Siri functionality (Podcasts/Music)

Should Siri on Home Pod recognize the name of a playlist suggested by Apple Music Just got a Home Pod and am testing out Apple Music. In browsing Playlists suggested by Apple Music I found one titled Classic Rock which I wanted to play. So I asked Siri to play playlist Classic Rock. I got Beethoven classical music. So I tried play Classic Rock and Siri played Classic Rock Essentials. I have had success getting Siri to play my playlists, and asking for general content that Siri then finds some content to play (e.g. Smooth Jazz). So I thought this should work. My questions are: Should I expect that Siri will recognize the name of a playlist that Apple Music has suggested for me? Is there a special syntax I should be using? Is there a way to ask Siri questions to figure out what it knows? Thanks

How do I stop Siri from suggesting Apple Music? I have Apple Music turned off, but whenever Siri mishears the song I’m asking for it asks me to play it on Apple Music. this is the last straw…. The Siri app is now nearly useless…. All I used it for was playing my music.while driving. Now it can barely do that.

I believe this is a software bug.

The opposite use case (instructing Siri to play Podcasts while playing Apple Music) works as expected: Podcast is resumed from the point in the playlist where it left off previously
