A skill to play the podcast "The Vergecast". If you're a listener, you know why you need this. If not, well it's a podcast from the editors of website theverge.com, featuring regular hosts Nilay Patel, Dieter Bohn and Paul Miller, as well as guest appearances from other members of staff, interviews with tech CEOs, and more. Older episodes were co-hosted by Joshua Topolsky. Trust me, it's one of the best podcasts out there.
Play any episode that is still in the RSS feed, all the way back to Vergecast episode 109 as of right now. This skill will automatically update with new episodes, just say "Alexa, ask Verge Cast to play this weeks episode".
Other commands available: * "Alexa, ask Verge Cast to play episode 325" * "Alexa, ask Verge Cast to play a random episode" * "Alexa, ask Verge Cast to play the latest episode" * "Alexa, ask Verge Cast to skip to fifteen minutes" * "Alexa, ask Verge Cast to fast forward one minute thirty seconds" * "Alexa, ask Verge Cast to rewind one minute thirty seconds" * "Alexa, pause" * "Alexa, play" * "Alexa, next episode" * "Alexa, previous episode" * "Alexa, start over" * "Alexa, can you say that again?" (this will tell you the episode title).
This skill is not official, and is not endorsed by anyone at The Verge. Occasional bad language (usually if the subject of IR blasters comes up).
