On HomePod, use Siri to listen to your favorite podcasts, the news, and more. Be sure to set up voice recognition to access your services and get personalized recommendations.
With Apple Podcasts, you can ask Siri to play this faster or slower, skip forward 30 seconds or go back 10 seconds, and subscribe to this podcast. New episodes appear in Listen Now in the Podcasts app on your devices when they’re available. For the news, ask something like “What’s the news today?” or have Siri play Apple News.
