Do you like trivia and fun facts? Have you lost hours to Wikipedia rabbit holes? Do you ever wonder about the history of everyday things in your world? The Story Behind is the show for you! Join trivia buff Emily Prokop each week to learn the origin stories of the things around us.
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 The Story Behind to skip ahead 5 episodes”
**Fast Forward/Back Within Episode** — [While Episode Is Playing] = “Alexa, tell The Story Behind to fast forward 2 minutes” — [While Episode Is Playing] = “Alexa, tell The Story Behind to rewind 45 seconds”
**Select Newest Episode** — “Alexa, tell The Story Behind to play the newest episode”
“Alexa, tell The Story Behind to go back 5 episodes”
