Handball Radio is a custom Amazon Alexa podcast skill that we developed for our WPH Patreon Supporters. The skill will be released to the public eventually, but you get to know about it first!
This new Alexa skill allows handball fans to play Dave & Dave Handball Sports Podcast right from their Amazon Alexa devices. The skill supports the standard Alexa podcast features such as playing the feed, skipping to next episode, going to previous episode, pausing the currently playing episode, resuming the last played episode and stopping the currently playing episode. In addition, users can play a particular episode, fast forward or even rewind!
(Friend of the WPH, Piyush, created this video explaining how the system works on the Alexa Show device)
