See this post; it's apparently a global problem:

And this IDIOT company (Google) wants to create AI??? Can you imagine just how F'ed Up they'd make that??? It would probably suddenly disable everyone's Tesla EV , turn off your Refrigerator, Turn Off the Power to your House and Business, make your Android Tablet or Chromebook Explode, turn your Nest Thermostat up to 125 Degrees in August, turn off your Ring Door Camera, Unlock Your Front Door and open it to let Looters in! Good thing Google doesn't make a Bidet! What a death that would be.

I get this happening to me a few times a week. I like to flick between four or five different stations and will do on repeat. Some nights I'm asking to play a station I'd only just asked for a few mins before and I'm told "I'm sorry, I don't know how to do that" or "sorry, this station is not availble"! Or I'm asking for, for an example LBC on Global Player, and it's something I request daily among other stations. But instead of playing the radio station as requested I'm told "here's some music on Spotify called LBC"! (nothing to do with the radio station) or I'm told "on the website...xxxxxxx" and then a full report on what LBC-which in this case will have nothing to do with the radio station. And in that time that it takes to mis-direct my request I've missed the story on the station I was originally trying to listen to.

Hi folks,

Thanks for reaching out. This is not the experience that we wanted you to have; let me help you out. If anyone noticed the link MplsCustomer provided, this got resolved recently. If you are still experiencing this, try to reboot your Google Home Mini and observe if it makes a difference.

Thanks for the help here, MplsCustomer.

Regards,

Juni
