"Beautifully made... brilliantly original," says The Telegraph. A 20-part public-radio-style series that asks big questions about life and how to live it. Ex-lawyer/comedian Daniel Kaufman takes on a different subject each episode using monologue, stories, interviews, music, and more. This show is made with a lot of love and care (and OCD) and new episodes come out very infrequently, but they will keep coming, so be sure to subscribe to get all future episodes. You can also be notified of new releases by joining the mailing list at the website. FYI, a myoclonic jerk is that twitch that happens as you're falling asleep that wakes you up. Scientists think the brain confuses the feeling of your muscles relaxing with the feeling of falling or dying and sends a startle impulse to your body to save it. Why is that the name of this podcast? Why not?
Here are a few quick tips when navigating our skill. The First thing to note, when opening the skill you’ll be playing 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 play next or previous episode. In addition, you can ask the skill to play the newest or oldest episodes or if you want to get specific, play a specific episode by saying the episode number. Try some of these commands:
**Next/Previous Episode** — [While Episode Is Playing] = “Alexa, next” — [While Episode Is Playing] = “Alexa, previous”
**Select Latest Episode** — “Alexa, ask Myoclonic Jerk Podcast to play latest episode”
**Select First Episode** — “Alexa, ask Myoclonic Jerk Podcast to start from first episode”
