I so far found that listening to Podcasts with the Echo does not work well at all. If as Richard you google this you find a bunch of information mostly saying that Alexa gets the Podcasts from Tune In and that you can use the Alexa app on the phone to search for Podcasts and then play them via the Echo. This of course is ridiculously complicated, much easier then to open my favourite Podcast app where I have already set up a list of my favourite Podcasts. It is also interesting to note that you can enable skills for other services like Spreaker and you are supposed to be able to say "Alexa, ask Spreaker to play..." followed by the Podcast name. However, when I tried this it worked just as poorly. Unless Alexa can play the Podcasts I like when I tell her to and without fuss I will just use my iPhone and Overcast.

Obviously the Daily Fible is great, but I'm also wondering about the best podcasts since DF has to be listened to live.
