homepod seems to lose radio and apple music connection

And I guess you tried going into Home > HomePod > Details > Music & Podcasts > Account > Sign Out, and then signing in again?

I've heard another suggestion that you remove the Home app altogether and then reinstall set up the HomePod again, but I've no idea how effective that might be.

I had the exact same issues for last three days between the hours of 6:00AM to approx. 9:00AM EST. I thought it was an Apple Music/Siri service issue but Apple's System Status page was all green-lighted. Everything is normal today. No issues with Siri responding as expected. I never reset or reinstalled the HomePod or HomePod app.

It was very strange behavior and I'm speculating that Apple will fix some of these issues with AirPlay 2. Apple also needs to improve the "Hey Siri" command to differentiate device response. The other day, my iPad, iPhone and HomePod all responded with a "Hey Siri" HomePod request, a flattering acknowledgment of my "authority" but very confusing for the four of us. :-)

My HomePod is unfortunately having the Exact same problem. I have had to do several resets in the past 2 weeks. After each reset it starts to get connected again but then after a while just looses connection and can no longer pay the music you ask for. Siri says it is playing the requested music but it simply doesn’t. Very, very frustrating. Obviously a firmware problem somewhere.

When it says you're in the wrong location ask "Hey Siri, where am I?" and see what it says.

Well I'm glad to hear that went well at any rate. Good luck with whatever comes next.
