HomePod Siri shortcut for a radio station

[theSchtickler]

Hey everyone.

Just wondering if its possible to create a siri shortcut to replace me having to ask:
"Hey siri, play PBS 106.7FM Melbourne" - which is an iheartradio station.

Happy to change to something short, "play stupid radio" or anything like that. The problem is, that every time I create the shortcut on my phone, then ask homepod to run it, it then says "You have to continue this on your iphone" and i have to open the iheartradio app before it works

Anyone got any suggestions I could try?

I don’t think this is possible. Per Apple’s online resources, to play a radio station directly from the HomePod, you have to address the HomePod using the syntax you described in your post. If you try to use a shortcut, that’s going to run on your phone, not on the HomePod. Hence the request for you to open the iHeartradio app.
