If you’re blind, you have a family member who is blind, or you work with blind people, then you’ve found the podcast that’s our place, for our issues.
Mainstream media pays scant attention to blindness at all, and it’s hard to find current affairs content that examines the world from the blind side of things. Settle back and enjoy a professionally-produced, engaging podcast covering the diverse experiences of life with blindness.
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 Blind Side Podcast to skip ahead 5 episodes”
**Fast Forward/Back Within Episode** — [While Episode Is Playing] = “Alexa, tell The Blind Side Podcast to fast forward 2 minutes” — [While Episode Is Playing] = “Alexa, tell The Blind Side Podcast to rewind 45 seconds”
**Select Newest Episode** — “Alexa, tell The Blind Side Podcast to play the newest episode”
“Alexa, tell The Blind Side Podcast to go back 5 episodes”
