Fairly thorough, if somewhat dated, list of Siri commands…

“Play bbc world service” plays an hourly version of BBC News, approx 5 minutes long, that appears to be for the American market (at least when invoked in the US). No RSS feed exists of this that I’ve found.

Thanks for this one. My Google Home has the same capability for BBC and NPR so I tried NPR with Siri, but it just played the NPR live feed in Music. Know if I can get that hourly news report from NPR like the BBC one?

If I say “hey siri play NPR news”, it plays it in the apple “podcasts” app. You can also say “hey siri play the news” and it will ask you which news you want, and the first few times it will tell you your options (though I think the default is NPR)

“Share my drive”, oddly, takes a screenshot then offers to share it via iMessage

Needs to add the HomeKit commands. I know most of what I need but not everything.
