The HomePod isn’t all about playing songs with Apple Music or setting multiple timers when you’re cooking dinner. If you enjoy podcasts, you can listen to them on your HomePod too.

Choose a new show from the Apple Podcasts store, catch up on
episodes you’ve missed for podcasts you subscribe to, and control the podcast
playback easily with Siri.

Here’s how to listen to podcasts on HomePod with Siri.

Play podcasts on HomePod

  • “Hey Siri, play my newest/recent podcasts.”
  • “Hey Siri, play the {podcast name} podcast.”
  • “Hey Siri, play the first/last episode of {podcast
    name} podcast.”

Control podcast playback on HomePod
