  1. This specific Siri command issue has been problematic since I got the OG HomePod. So, it’s been years.

    I’ve reported feedback on it. It’s largely consistent, but there have been short stretches of time where it felt more reliable.

    I truly hope this situation gets better sometime.

  2. In comparison, my regular (old) HomePod and newer HomePod mini speakers have never done that (0% hit rate) and even “Play NPR News WHYY Philadelphia” — which is what Siri says it is playing when it gets it correct — is unreliable. It’s probably 60-70% hit rate. The failures almost always playing something I have never heard of and/or wouldn’t normally listen to.

  3. I enabled Sonos Voice Control on a Sonos One speaker to try it out, compared to Siri on my HomePods.

    It unfailing plays the correct radio station stream when I ask it to “Play WHYY.”

  4. From WHYY/NPR Fresh Air: Comic Aparna Nancherla spoke with Ann Marie Baldonado about imposter syndrome. Her book is 'Unreliable Narrator.'
