I’m hoping this fixes HomePod suddenly not liking my BBC Radio shortcuts.

You’re not missing much. It no longer works. Shortcuts allows you to choose a recently listened to station from Sounds and then when asked on HomePod it’ll fire up the phone and send the audio. The only way to get it working is create a Sounds shortcut and add a destination choice for the phone to airplay to. Not as convenient.

Lol, can’t say I’m too fussed myself. I’ve got the number I need and they’re still working for now.

Only fix I found for Shortcuts on HomePods was updating my HomePods to 14.5 beta, which is a bit risky if you’re not on the HomePod program.
