You can speak to Alexa conversationally when you make a request, but here are some examples of things you can say:

Ask Alexa to play complex requests and more:

  • "Play a podcast about [topic]."
  • "Play a [genre] podcast."
  • "Play [episode name] from [podcast name]."

Ask Alexa to recommend podcasts to listen to:

  • "Recommend a [mood] podcast for me."
    • For example, "Recommend an uplifting podcast."
  • "Show me podcasts like [podcast name]."
  • "Recommend a podcast for [activity]."
    • For example, "Recommend a podcast for cleaning the house."
  • "What's a podcast where they talk about [subject]?"

Ask Alexa to revisit and play podcasts you've listened to previously:

  • "What podcast was I playing on Thursday?"
  • "Resume what I was listening to at [time]."
  • "What podcasts from [program name] did I play last week?"

Ask Alexa to navigate to a specific place in a podcast or episode:

  • "Jump to the [subject] episode."
  • "Jump to episode [number]."
  • "Go to the last/latest episode."
