The Amazon Echo should be able to play podcasts.
Today's idea is my fifth Amazon Echo improvement idea, and it's is a no-brainer. When I think of things that are perfectly suited for an audio-only device, the first thing that comes to mind is podcasting.
A podcasting option is easy for Amazon to implement. All they need is a way to subscribe to a podcast with the App or using the Amazon Music website. This should take seconds.
Once you've subscribed, all you would need to do is say "Alexa play the most recent Adam Carolla podcast". That's it. All your favorite podcasts should be just as easy to access as your Prime Playlists or other music stored in your Amazon Music collection.
New to Podcasting?
The word "Podcast" is a combination of Pod as in iPod... and Cast, as in broadcast. The original idea was to create a new way for people to broadcast shows designed for people to play on their iPods. Unlike traditional radio broadcasting, podcasts are downloaded, so people can listen any time they want.
Podcasting has evolved quite a bit since it was originally conceived, but the essence is still the same. Podcasting gives people the power to be the star of their own radio or TV show. Most podcasters have very small audiences, but some like Adam Carolla have reached millions.
