Apple Podcasts stations not appearing in Shortcuts

On iPhone 16 Plus, latest update. I had a bunch of stations on Apple Podcasts that I setup with a shortcut to play over the last year. When setting up, I played each station a few times and it was uggested as an action in shortcuts. It worked well. I deleted one of the stations recently and went back to set it up again and make a shortcut for it to be played but shortcuts isn’t picking it up in the suggested actions under the podcast action.


I deleted another station to set it up again to see if it was related to the particular station but that one isn’t being picked up in the suggested actions either. I can get the stations to play via Siri with my voice, but it just won’t come up as a suggestion. Even if I play the latest episode within a station manually it won't appear in the suggested actions in shortcuts. I’ve tried a different name for the station. I’ve restarted my phone. I’ve deleted and downloaded both the podcast and shortcuts apps but no luck. Apple Podcasts is configured to allow Siri to learn from it's usage and also within the Shortcuts app itself. Shortcuts to play a given podcast normally works fine. The reason I set up stations was because I am listening to a few podcasts from the first episode and stations was an easy way set it up with shortcuts. This all appears to be a recent issue because I set them up before, but can't now. Anyone have a similar issue?
