No podcast services in Denmark

[Jbelushi]

I would like to be able to hear podcast from my Google Nest Audio. Setting up music went fine, but when I in the google home app go under setting - services - Podcast. There are no podcast services availeble, even though I have several podcast app on the phone. In am living in Denmark. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Hi Jbelushi,

Thanks for posting. I'm sorry to hear about the situation that you are experiencing while you are trying to link your podcast services. Don't worry; help is here. I need to ask for some information to provide the best solution:

• What podcast app are you trying to link?
• Are you using the same music account to hear your podcasts on the Google Home app?

Please keep me posted. I'll be waiting for your response.

Best regards,

Jenny

Hi Jenny

Thanks for looking into this.

I have several podcast players on my phone, where I am connected with my google account. It is podcast apps such as Podcast (from apple), DR lyd, Podbean and when Google podcast existed, I was not able to use that either.  None of the above show up as possible to be used as podcast service in Google home.

I am using Spotify for music. I have tried asking for podcast that I know is availeble on Spotify, but this does not work either.

Hi Jbelushi,

Thanks for your reply and the information provided. I understand that you are trying to set up several podcast players linked to your Google account, but it is not working as expected. In this case, you can try the next steps to confirm that the account is correctly set up:

• Open the Google Home app.
• At the top right, tap your account.
• Verify that the Google Account shown is the one linked to your Google device. If correct, tap Close to exit the account window. To switch accounts, tap the drop-down for another account or Add another account.
• Tap to close the account window.
• Tap Settings > Add.
• Under "Service," tap Podcast.
• To link podcast services, tap the podcast service you'd like to use.

For other podcast services, you'll need to link your account.

• To connect your account, tap a podcast service > Link account > sign in or sign up for the service and follow the in-app steps.
• To unlink an account, tap Unlink > Unlink account.

Please let me know how that goes or if you have questions during the process.

Best regards,

Jenny

Hi Jennifer

Thanks for looking into this. I have follow  the instruction until "To link podcast services, tap the podcast service you'd like to use." Here I do not have any podcast service. I have several on my phone, but none are showing up so I can choose them.

Hi Jbelushi,

Thanks for your reply. In this case, podcasts, providers, and voice control availability can vary based on country, region, or language. If you are still not finding the podcast provided, it may be due to the availability of the Google Home app for your country. We would appreciate it if you sent feedback about the problem that you are experiencing, and we expect your experience to get better in future updates.
Please let me know if you have more questions.

Best regards,
Jenny

That sounds frustrating! If you’ve already installed podcast apps on your phone but don’t see any options in the Google Home app, it might be a regional limitation. Google Podcasts should work by default, but if it’s not showing up, try setting your default podcast provider using voice commands like “Hey Google, play [podcast name] on Spotify” (if you have Spotify linked). Also, make sure your apps and Google Home app are updated. Hopefully, Google expands support soon—just like I hope subwaymenu keeps expanding its food options

Thanks for input and I have tried to asked to play podcast through Spotify, which is my music service, but it does not work, so I guess I just have to wait.
