With over 25 years of broadcast and podcast experience, Tim Wohlberg is eager to help podcasters sound more like a pro, gain more fans and turn those fans into customers. With his 5-minute quick tips, he's helping podcasters focus on their presentation skills, their connection to their audience and staying focused on the most important part of podcasting - the listener. Each episode, he gives podcasters a tip (sometimes two) that they can implement the very next time they hit record. His goal is to help podcasters reach their podcast goals by making their podcast better every single time they open up the mic. He strives to make every episode just the tip they need to do that.
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 Podcasting Tips to skip ahead 5 episodes”
**Fast Forward/Back Within Episode** — [While Episode Is Playing] = “Alexa, tell Podcasting Tips to fast forward 2 minutes” — [While Episode Is Playing] = “Alexa, tell Podcasting Tips to rewind 45 seconds”
**Select Newest Episode** — “Alexa, tell Podcasting Tips to play the newest episode”
“Alexa, tell Podcasting Tips to go back 5 episodes”
