New York Times The Daily stopped playing any segments past 2/26/24

New York Times The Daily stopped playing any segments past 2/26/24. I got around it by going into the Google Home app and starting the latest segment manually. I sure don't want to do this manually every time. Have any of you been running into this? Curious why this stopped working without may changing anything. I've been listenting to The Daily on these devices without a hiccup for a very long time.

This has also happened to us.  Same time frame too.  Any help would be appreciated.

Same here. I wonder if ti's related to the messages I hear at the end of NPR news warning me that the Google Podcast app I'm (not?) using will be discontinued soon

Yes, I wonder that, too, dukeofabq. Currently, I can force it to works by saying "Ok, Google. Play latest New York Times The Daily on Google Podcasts". Sheesh! if I throw in at the end the speaker group name, it seems to choke. If I just say "Ok, Google. Play New York Times The Daily", it responds saying it can't do that yet, or something like that. On another Google device, it wants to play yesterday's segment. When I say "play next", it plays from the day before.

+1 I am having the same issue, I believe that NYT has stopped its daily RSS feed to Google Podcast. It is my understanding the "play the news" command utilizes Google Assistant settings which currently uses Google Podcast for "play the news" routine as all the available news sources (podcasts) are from Google Podcast.

With the discontinuation of Google Podcast (discontinues on April 2, 2024), I am wondering when google will fix the "news source" to pull the sources from YouTube music instead of Google Podcast? I have already changed my default podcast service to no longer play from Google Podcast however, it appears that Google Assistant controls the news sources in the "play the news" command and is still using Google Podcast for those sources. 

Its quite frustrating to not have this solutioned already and I am wondering if anyone has any information on when the Google Assistant, routines for news will change its news sources from Google Podcast to YouTube Music?
