Based on a True Story is the podcast that compares history with Hollywood. Each week we'll look at a different movie as we compare what we saw on screen with what really happened. New episodes every Monday, just in time for your morning commute.
Here are a few quick tips when navigating our skill. First thing to note, when opening the skill you’ll be offered the latest episode, but if that’s not what you’re looking for, you can always find something more specific. This skill allows you to skip forward and backward by entire episodes, and you can also fast forward and rewind within episodes themselves. In addition, you can ask the skill to play the newest or oldest episodes released; or if you want to get specific, play a specific episode by saying the episode number. Try some of these commands:
**Skip Entire Episodes** — [While Episode Is Playing] = “Alexa skip” or “Alexa tell Based on a True Story to skip ahead 5 episodes”
**Fast Forward/Back Within Episode** — [While Episode Is Playing] = “Alexa, tell Based on a True Story to fast forward 2 minutes” — [While Episode Is Playing] = “Alexa, tell Based on a True Story to rewind 45 seconds”
**Select Newest Episode** — “Alexa, tell Based on a True Story to play the newest episode”
“Alexa, tell Based on a True Story to go back 5 episodes”
