Siri, play news from... NPR, CNBC, Bloomberg, Fox. Who else?

Are the available sources undocumented so Apple can change them up as needed?

CNN & BBC also work, though longer form / daily as opposed to quick ~hourly updates. (CNBC isn’t too frequent either, and no weekend updates.)

I just tried it for the first time and before it played it told me I can say “play npr, or Fox News podcasts or CNN podcasts.” IIRC.

CNN!

Nice, multiple episodes a day, all quick hits. Sometimes just what I’m looking for, tidbits from around the world. Maybe I want e.g. the BBC’s deep dive—30min a couple times a day from Global News Podcast—but other times only looking for a few minutes.

Thanks :)

Oh yeah, no criticism to you. I’m doing that thing where a comment is taking to anyone curious about the feature. The fact it tries to be “balanced” is interesting.

People blindly rag on Apple assuming things like this can’t be changed from default. Again, that’s not directed at you.

heh

They say various words, and occasionally I web search a select portion of those words to learn what they’re upset about :)

Super super interesting when they give a left-ish leaning position “the last word”, makes me wonder if they aren’t 100% right wing (just 97% or something). (Or maybe the audience likes to scoff at the end of certain stories, no idea.) Grains and shakers always needed 🧂
