How to Start Hearing Podcasts on HomePod

 Hearing Podcasts on HomePod gives a different kind of vibe that you don’t usually experience while hearing on iPad or iPhone. HomePod is easily accessible and more entertaining. The great thing about HomePod is that it is a smart speaker that is associated with Siri. Now because of Siri accessibility, HomePod can perform several tasks just by voice command. Indeed, you can hear music by simply saying Hey Siri, play music, but playing Podcasts is not too difficult as well.

Even if you have HomePod Mini, you can access the virtual assistant, Siri. In both HomePod and HomePod Mini, the capability of Siri for doing tasks is similar. You can play Podcasts easily on your HomePod or HomePod Mini, but if you want to play it on some other device, you can use the AirPlay feature. So here’s how you can play Podcasts on HomePod with ease.


How to Start Playing Podcasts on HomePod Using AirPlay


People who don’t prefer to use Siri all the time can try out the AirPlay method. Here’s how you can play Podcast using Airplay on your iPad, iPhone or Mac.

  • Open Podcasts application on iPad, iPhone, or Mac.
  • Choose the preferred Podcast to play.
  • Under the playback tab, click the AirPlay option.
  • Now you’ll see a list of devices that are available for AirPlay.
  • Choose the HomePod to start streaming your podcasts.

So that’s how you can play your preferred Podcast through AirPlay.


How to Start Playing Podcasts on HomePod Using Siri


Indeed, playing podcasts through the AirPlay feature is simple, but it’s, even more, easier with Siri. If you try Siri, you will not have to access your iPad, iPhone or Mac. Here’s how you can do it:

  • Say, Hey Siri, play my favorite Podcast.
  • So once you give the command to Siri, it will play your favorite Podcast in no time. But if you only say, Hey Siri, Play Podcast, it will play any random podcast from the app.
  • To be more specific, you can say, Hey Siri, play a motivational podcast. Once you say this, Siri will play a random podcast from a motivational podcast list.

Find and Subscribe to a Podcast Using Siri


If you find Siri is easier than AirPlay, you can ask it more about the ongoing Podcast, if you don’t know about it.

  • While hearing a random podcast, you can say, Hey Siri, what’s the ongoing Podcast? or Hey Siri, which Podcast is it?
  • If you like the ongoing Podcast, you can even subscribe to it through your voice command by saying, Hey Siri, subscribe to the ongoing Podcast.

So this is how you can utilize Siri to play, pause, and subscribe to random podcast channels. The process of playing podcasts is pretty similar to playing music. Once your HomePod starts to play podcasts of your choice, you can increase and decrease its volume by pressing the button on HomePod.


Conclusion 


The sound quality of both HomePod and HomePod Mini is stunning. You can clearly hear its sound from one room to another. The great thing about podcasts is that they come in several varieties, and you choose your favorite one or subscribe to multiple channels to hear their daily podcasts.
