      When asking to hear a radio station it is better to just ask to hear a station by its call letters. This way you can listen to stations all over the world.

    The radio stations are done easier (and for stations around the world) is to know the stations call letters. In the United States, all radio stations either start with K or W. Canada is C.

    “Play KPLA” (in Kansas City)
    “Play radio station WBCW”

    Now, doing call letters for Australia and New Zealand is confusing. Their call letters start with numbers. Haven’t quite figured out how to play those stations using call letters.

    How do you get Google to say your entire shopping list? At one time I would just say Hey Google what’s on the Shopping List? Google would then announce my entire Shopping List item by item. Now if I say Hey Google what’s on the Shopping List? I get a response something like “You have 17 items on your Shopping List, bread, butter, soup and 14 other items”. So, what command do I use to hear all the items on my Shopping List?
