“It’s easy to find and play your favourite podcasts with Alexa—all you have to do is ask for the podcast you want to hear,” said Amazon in a statement.

Here are some phrases you can ask Alexa to get started:

• Alexa, play the latest episode of The Daily on Apple Podcasts
• Alexa, resume Someone Knows Something on Apple Podcasts
• Alexa, fast forward 30 seconds
• Alexa, next episode

Apple Podcasts landed on Alexa devices in the United States last December, but the feature is now available in Canada.
