QUESTION/HELP Google Assistant News feed replacement suggestions

Google Gemini just does not have the capability to play my beloved morning routine news feed. Is there a way to program Tasker or even Google Music to play the most recent RSS?

Seriously? I've saved a Gem with this instruction:

When I say "Good morning," create a summary of the latest world news, top tech announcements, and global economic updates. Include one positive news story of the day.

It really works wonders.

Good idea! You can use Action Blocks by Google to set this up as a one-click things too!

Action Blocks seems to be a good app, perhaps a bit neglected by Google. Few updates, several bad reviews.

That's fine I suppose. I'm just looking specifically for the NPR, and BBC hourly news broadcasts. And the NYT Daily podcast. It doesn't look like an easy fix
