After you transfer something to your HomePod, you can use your phone for other things. You can lock the screen. But you cannot turn off the phone entirely, or even close the app which is the source of the program on your HomePod. Thus, it is not the same as a Chromecast, where you can

Hi Robert, I have had very spotty luck with handoff. I have never gotten anything to transfer from one of my phones, even though it’s on the same Wi-Fi network as my HomePod. And some of the time, the other one doesn’t work right either. And I have never had anything that was being read

i listened to an AppleVis podcast about the HomePod, and I have a question. I noticed that when she was playing something from her phone, VoiceOver was still coming from her phone, not the HomePod. I understand that air play works this way, but would it air play material from, say, Kindle

Try saying to your Homepod, Play BBC Radio. You do not need to be subscribed to Apple Music for this feature to work in IOS 13 with iPhone or HomePod, but sometimes Siri is a bit finicky on complying with your request, depending on how you ask for the station. It is of course critical that your
