BBC Sounds on HomePod Mini

How do I play BBC Sounds using "Hey Siri" on HomePod Mini?

After not finding any helpful responses on this forum, I stumbled across this helpful answer on YouTube. It solves the problem using Apple Shortcuts. While it's still true that BBC Sounds won't play natively via a voice command to a HomePod Mini, this shortcut works around that issue and its working.

Thanks to @abfixer8722 on YouTube!

Hope this helps people as the "Apple Recommended" default response on this repeated question is not helpful.

Can Apple just end their stubbornness with respect to BBC sounds. I prefer the homepod to the sonos but without BBC services the homepod is so much less functional. In the UK its pretty much a dealbreaker.
