Siri, play news from... NPR, CNBC, Bloomberg, Fox. Who else? (sh.itjust.works)

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.)

For me, when I ask you to play “news”, it plays the Apple news today podcast.

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.

Maybe Siri just knows my habits and plays what I wanna hear.

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.
