Wrong Daily Drive playlist triggered by Google Assistant

Wrong Daily Drive playlist triggered by Google Assistant

Premium Account.

I have a daily routine set up in Google Assistant that launches on a Google Home device. Each morning, the last action in the routine tells Assistant to play "my daily drive playlist."

Until this week, the Daily Drive curated playlist would begin, with the daily intro, some songs, and the NPR and What A Day podcasts mixed in. This week, that has all changed. What ends up playing is a Spotify-created playlist called Daily Drive that contains multiples of a week's worth of Daily Drive intros. A repetition of "It's Monday," "It's Tuesday," "It's Wednesday," you get the picture.

This is greatly annoying. What is frustrating is that the name of both playlists is exactly the same, Daily Drive, so there appears to be no way to structure the GA command to play the one with content that I want to listen to.

The problem is with Google home that clearly tells Spotify to play the wrong playlist or song.

My suggestion is to create a new playlist with a unique name, and add the daily drive,or whatever, to it. Then create a routine on Google assistant that makes it playing that creates playlist 

I tell Google simply "daily drive" and it does play my daily drive.

It's a workaround, but if it does the magic .
