u/not_bad_just_ungood

Wondering if this is lucky me, or a shared experience, but in the last couple weeks my HomePod has been more regularly failing to understand me.

I asked "play the podcast The Intelligence from the Economist", like I have literally hundreds of times (maybe close to 1,000) but got "Latin Lessons the Donner Doctrine Boost" (or something like that) every single time I tried this evening.

I now have to shout, in what's become a rather loud and rather angry sounding voice "Hey Siri!" to get the p.o.s. to actually listen for my next instructions.

Am I just "lucky"? Or have others started to get erratic?
