Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #665
Hey there, it’s Teri here with your flash briefing for Sunday. And, as you know, on Sundays I like to highlight members of AIC Nation, the community, you.
And, today, it’s not so much a question, but a comment that I saw in the Facebook group, and it was referring to a new feature that was just released.
And I thought I’d mention it today because there are lots of questions around this. And, it was Pavel Schumarov that put this comment out and he said, “Apple podcasts plus Amazon Echo equals heart, but US only, and a sad face.
And, that’s true. This is a really nice feature, but unfortunately it’s not here in Canada yet. But let me tell you what it is, and hopefully, as things tend to happen here, eventually we will get it here.
Basically, you can now listen to podcasts that are on Apple podcasts on your Echo device, if you’re in the States.
It’s really nice. It’s really seamless.
It’s really nice. It’s really seamless. You just simply ask Alexa, “Alexa, play [and then you name the title of the podcast] and it does it.
So, if you happen to have a device that’s set up with a US account, then you’re set to go. Unfortunately, for us Canadians that have Canadian accounts, this is not available yet.
So, there are lots of questions going around about this because it is such a great feature. Bottom line is, I’m sorry to say it’s not in Canada yet.
Hopefully it will come soon as things tend to happen. We seem to be a number of months behind, but fortunately, things do eventually seem to make their way to Canada.
So keep our fingers crossed that it happens very soon. Alright, have a great day. I will talk to you tomorrow.
