An Alexa podcast, heard on a speaker.

Smart speakers play podcasts by voice. Listeners ask for a show by name, so a clear, easy-to-say title helps.

How Alexa works for podcasts

Alexa plays podcasts through services such as Amazon Music and other directories. If your feed is on those, it can be requested by voice.

What to prepare

Before you publish:

  • Choose a show name that is easy to say and spell.
  • Avoid names that sound like other shows.
  • Test asking for the show aloud.
  • Keep episode titles simple.

Who listens and how

Speaker listening happens at home and in the kitchen, with background noise. Consistent loudness and clear speech matter most.

What radio.app delivers

We deliver files at a consistent loudness, which helps on speakers where the volume is set once. See the production process.

Questions
