How do I play a podcast station using shortcuts?

I have a podcast station set up to play some BBC podcasts. The station is called BBC world.

A few weeks ago I set up a shortcut to play the podcast station. It looks like this in the shortcuts app.

This works just as I wanted.

My problem is that I can't remember exactly how I did it, and using the Play Podcast shortcut action doesn't allow me to select a station, only individual podcasts.

I want to set up a shortcut to play a different station, but can't work out how to do it.

I have the same problem on all devices, iPhone, iPad Pro, & Mac Mini (M1)

What am I missing?

I found the answer. On iOS or iPad OS, searching the actions for Play displays a list of podcasts. What I didn't realise was that further down that list, the personal stations are included.

This doesn't work in Mac OS, which allows selection of individual podcasts only, no stations.
