Multi-user Support for Podcasts

When Apple debuted voice recognition for the HomePod last year, it added the ability for a user’s own personal Apple Music library to be used based on the voice that was calling out a song request, but sadly while this also worked for more obvious personal requests for things like calendars, notes, and messages, it didn’t extend to podcast libraries.

Fortunately, Apple will be addressing this shortcoming this year, which should make homes with multiple podcast fans happy, as they’ll now be able to call up their favourite podcasts from their own libraries, based on what’s set up in the Apple Podcasts app on their iPhone. Of course, this won’t be as useful for those who are using third-party podcasting clients, although you should still be able to search for any podcast by name regardless.
