HomePod Podcasts on the homepod

[The Game 161]

How is everybody using it? I have started to use hey siri for my podcast library but kind of tempted to just use pocketcasts and airplay things. Need to try though if you tell siri to play next playlist whether the next podcast plays or not.

I think with how pocketcasts is laid out it looks far better and easier to play the next podcasts without the offical app which freezes too much for my liking.

I'm also curious about Airplay connectivity. Can you connect your phone via Airplay with a voice command? Like how I can connect my phone to the Echo with "Alexa, connect my phone"? Use it all the time this way, controlling playback with my Watch.

I'd have bought one already if it allowed BT streaming out of the box.

I could never go back to the default Podcasts app, lack of preferences and customisation would send me batty.
