Podcasts and the Amazon Echo system are a match made in heaven: you get good sound quality, voice-based control, and a diverse stable of podcasts to listen to. Let’s look at how to tap into a huge podcast library and how, when necessary, to reach beyond it.
播客和Amazon Echo系统是天作之合：您将获得良好的音质，基于语音的控制以及可收听的各种播客。 让我们看看如何利用庞大的播客库，以及在必要时如何超越该库。
您的回声如何支持播客播放 (How Your Echo Supports Podcast Playback)
We’ve shown you how to fine tune your Amazon Echo to give you weather and sports updates, but you can also get full podcasts. Given the radio-like nature of podcasts its a perfect extension of your Echo to also use them to enjoy news, social commentary, information about your favorite hobbies, and even radio drama. In fact it’s so easy to do so, you’ll wonder why you haven’t already been enjoying podcasts on the Echo already.
我们已经向您展示了如何微调Amazon Echo以便为您提供天气和体育赛事的更新 ，但是您还可以获取完整的播客。 鉴于播客具有广播般的性质，它可以完美地扩展您的Echo，还可以使用它们来欣赏新闻，社交评论，有关您喜爱的爱好的信息，甚至是广播剧。 实际上，这样做很容易，您会想知道为什么您还没有在Echo上欣赏过播客。
Unlike most services that are integrated into the Echo ecosystem–like Spotify Radio and Pandora–there’s no need to sign up for (or pay any fees) to listen to podcasts through your Echo devices. Amazon paired with the podcast and internet radio service provider TuneInsuch that TuneIn’s free services–which include 100,000 radio stations and 5.7 million podcasts–are automatically available on the Echo. No signup, login, or configuration needed.
与大多数已集成到Echo生态系统中的服务(例如Spotify Radio和Pandora)不同，无需注册(或支付任何费用)即可通过您的Echo设备收听播客。 亚马逊与播客和互联网广播服务提供商TuneIn配对使用，从而在Echo上自动提供TuneIn的免费服务-包括100,000个广播电台和570万个播客。 无需注册，登录或配置。
在您的Echo设备上使用TuneIn (Using TuneIn with Your Echo Device)
Because there is no need to register for a TuneIn account or even turn it on in the settings for your Alexa account, you could actually start using it right this instant. Have an Echo device nearby? You can immediately dial into any podcast in the vast TuneIn library. Want to hear the newest edition of the popular podcast RadioLab? No problem, just say:
由于无需注册TuneIn帐户，甚至无需在Alexa帐户的设置中将其打开，因此实际上您可以立即开始使用它。 附近有回声设备吗？ 您可以立即拨入庞大的TuneIn库中的任何播客。 是否想收听流行播客RadioLab的最新版本？ 没问题，只是说：
“Alexa, play the program RadioLab.”
“ Alexa，播放RadioLab程序。”
If, for some reason, that command coupled with a particular podcast name trips Alexa up, you can also use a more verbose and specific command like so:
如果由于某种原因，该命令加上特定的播客名称使Alexa崩溃，您还可以使用更详细的命令，如下所示：
“Alexa, play RadioLab podcast on TuneIn.”
“ Alexa，请在TuneIn上播放RadioLab播客。”
Now that’s all well and good if you know the name of a popular podcast you want to listen to (as there’s a very good chance that TuneIn has the very popular podcast you’re interested in) but it doesn’t help you much if you’re more interested in searching for new material to listen to.
现在，如果您知道要收听的流行播客的名称，那就太好了(因为TuneIn很有可能拥有您感兴趣的非常流行的播客)，但是对您没有太大帮助对寻找新材料进行聆听更感兴趣。
搜索TuneIn播客(Alexa的内部和外部) (Searching for TuneIn Podcasts (Inside and Outside of Alexa))
There are two (well, perhaps two and a half) ways to go about finding new podcasts to listen to. First, you can search on the Alexa companion app. This method, if you don’t already know the name of a podcast you’re interested in, is a bit lackluster, as the user interface on the Alexa app for this particular function is a bit clunky.
找到新的Podcast收听有两种(大约两个半)方法。 首先，您可以在Alexa伴侣应用上进行搜索。 如果您还不知道自己感兴趣的播客的名称，则此方法会有些迟钝，因为Alexa应用程序上用于此特定功能的用户界面有些笨拙。
To search inthe Alexa app, open up the application and tap on the menu icon located in the upper left corner.
要在Alexa应用程序中搜索，请打开该应用程序，然后点击左上角的菜单图标。
Select “Music & Books” from the sidebar menu.
从侧边栏菜单中选择“音乐和书籍”。
Scroll down to the bottom and select “TuneIn”
向下滚动到底部，然后选择“ TuneIn”
Here you’ll find a search box as well as a laundry list of categories.
在这里，您会找到一个搜索框以及各种衣物清单。
There’s really no rhyme or reason to why some categories are listed over other categories (like we never figured out why “Brazilian Popular” kept appearing in the varies category lists we looked at). Youcanscroll down and click on the “Podcast” category but it just, in turn, gives you more sub-categories that don’t necessarily feel the best laid out.
确实没有押韵或理由说明为什么某些类别在其他类别之上列出(例如，我们从未弄清楚为什么“巴西流行”为什么一直出现在我们查看的各种类别列表中)。 您可以向下滚动并单击“ Podcast”类别，但这反过来又为您提供了更多子类别，这些子类别不一定会感觉最好。
In fact, we’re really only showing you how to do this particular step in the interest of thoroughness. Frankly, if you don’t already know what you’re looking for, you’re not going to find it very easily.
实际上，我们实际上只是向您展示了如何为了透彻的目的而执行此特定步骤。 坦白说，如果您不知道要查找的内容，就不会轻易找到它。
Rather than dink around in the Alexa app, you can visit TuneIn’s website to more easily browser their content.
您可以访问TuneIn的网站 ，而不是在Alexa应用程序中四处浏览，以更轻松地浏览其内容。
Not only can you use the search function more easily than pecking away on your phone, but you can jump right to their (much better organized) suggested podcast list by going right to the “Podcast Radio” category.
您不仅可以比在手机上轻松地使用搜索功能，还可以通过转到“播客广播”类别 ，直接跳至其(组织更好的)建议播客列表。
The extra half of the last trick, searching the web instead Alexa, is honestly much better if you search the greater web instead of limiting yourself to just TuneIn (either via the app or via their website search portal).
如果您搜索更大的网络而不是仅仅局限于TuneIn(通过应用程序或通过其网站搜索门户网站)，那么最后一招的另外一半是搜索网络而不是Alexa，这实际上要好得多。
Given that we weren’t really blown away by either method, it’s way more effective to hit up Google with search queries focused on your interests like “best history podcasts”, “best radio drama podcasts”, or the like. There are blog posts galore written about these very subjects and you’ll have no trouble finding an article about podcasts for those with even the most eccentric tastes.
鉴于我们并没有真正被这两种方法吓倒，因此以关注您的兴趣(例如“最佳历史播客”，“最佳广播剧播客”等)的搜索查询打动Google会更有效。 有大量关于这些主题的博客文章，您可以轻松找到有关甚至最古怪口味的播客的文章。
Once you find something you like via your general inquiry, it’s a snap (given the size of TuneIn’s expansive, albeit kind of hard to browse, catalog) to find it. Should you stumble across the absolute drama podcast gem that is Welcome to Night Valevia the also excellent Radio Drama Revival podcast,you can find it with a simple search in TuneIn or call it by name by requesting Alexa “play program Welcome to Night Vale”.
通过常规查询找到喜欢的东西后，就可以轻松找到它(考虑到TuneIn的大小，尽管很难浏览和分类)。 如果您通过同样出色的Radio Drama Revival播客偶然发现了绝对的戏剧播客瑰宝，即Welcome to Night Vale ，则可以在TuneIn中进行简单搜索即可找到它 ，也可以通过要求Alexa播放“欢迎来到Night Vale的播放程序”来命名。
超越TuneIn (Reaching Beyond TuneIn)
When it comes to current events type podcasts (such as the various NPR podcasts you can tap into) or podcasts that don’t have any particular strong continuity between sessions (like episodes of RadioLab, Nerdist, or other popular and frequently published podcasts focused on individual topics), the method in which TuneIn serves up the podcasts–by serving the most recent edition–is more than fine.
当涉及到当前事件时，请键入播客(例如您可以进入的各种NPR播客)或会话之间没有任何特别强连续性的播客(例如RadioLab，Nerdist的集或其他关注并经常发布的播客)单个主题)，TuneIn通过提供最新版本来提供播客的方法非常出色。
When you load up a podcast that has continuity, however–like Welcome to Night Vale–the limitations of the Alexa interface (both verbally and the app) become clear. While the Alexa’s TuneIn integration isspot onwhen it comes to requesting a podcast and getting immediate and snappy playback of the most current episode, it’s pretty painful (if not impossible in some cases) to movebackwardsin the podcast’s catalog.
但是，当您加载具有连续性的播客时(例如，欢迎使用Night Vale)，Alexa界面(言语和应用程序)的局限性就会变得清晰。 虽然Alexa的TuneIn集成是在请求播客并立即获得最新一集的快速回放时出现的，但在播客的目录中向后移动是非常痛苦的(即使在某些情况下并非不可能)。
In the case of the charming and eccentric Welcome to Night Vale podcast we’ve recommended–the podcast is set up like you’re listening to the public radio station of a very bizarre little town in the American Southwest–there are over a hundred episodes.
对于我们推荐的迷人而古怪的“欢迎来到夜谷”播客，该播客的设置就像您正在收听美国西南部一个非常奇怪的小镇的公共广播电台一样，其中有超过一百集。
If you want to listen to them in order, you’re stuck approaching the problem one of two ways. Either you have to scroll through the long archive on the Alexa app (after searching for Welcome to Night Vale)–a method we found particularly frustrating because the search results were oddly non-sequential–or you need to use your voice to page back through the previous episodes. All the previous episodes.
如果您想按顺序听他们的话，那么您就陷入了两种方法之一的问题中。 您要么必须在Alexa应用程序上浏览长档案(在搜索Welcome to Night Vale之后)，否则我们发现这种方法特别令人沮丧，因为搜索结果是不连续的，或者您需要使用语音来回滚前几集。 所有先前的情节。
If you find a podcast you like with 100 episodes, then you’re stuck. If you’re using the verbal command method, calling up the podcast by name and then saying “Alexa, play the previous episode” over, and over, and over again until you’ve verbally paged your way back to the beginning. Worse yet, Alexa will forget you did this silly circus act and start you right back at the beginning next time.
如果您找到喜欢的100集情节播客，那么您就被困住了。 如果您使用的是口头命令方法，请按名称调出播客，然后一遍又一遍地说“ Alexa，播放上一集”，直到您口头上回到起点为止。 更糟糕的是，Alexa会忘记您做过这种愚蠢的马戏表演，并在下一次开始时重新开始。
In such cases, we’re going to strongly encourage you to put aside the convenience of voice-driven Echo playback and instead–at least until you’re caught up with the backlog of the particular podcast you’re interested in–use your Echo more like a Bluetooth speaker extension of your phone and less like a smart device of the future.Usethe built-in podcast app on your iOS device (which syncs beautifully to the vast and easily searched iTunes podcast library) or the wildly popular and award winning podcast software Pocket Casts (Android/iOS).
在这种情况下，我们强烈建议您抛弃语音驱动的Echo播放的便利，而至少在您了解感兴趣的特定播客的积压之前， 使用Echo更像是手机的蓝牙扬声器扩展，而不像未来的智能设备。 在您的iOS设备上使用内置的播客应用程序(可以与大量且易于搜索的iTunes播客库完美同步)或广受欢迎且屡获殊荣的播客软件Pocket Casts( Android / iOS )。
Once you’ve churned through the backlog, you can then return to calling on Alexa to play you the newest episodes. It’s a minor inconvenience for those long running shows with continuity, but at the moment, it’s a hoop you have to jump through until (or even when) Alexa’shandling of such shows is improved.
完成积压工作后，您可以返回调用Alexa播放最新剧集。 对于那些长时间连续运行的节目来说，这是一个不小的麻烦，但是目前，这是一个难题，您必须跳过，直到(或什至是)Alexa对此类节目的处理得到改善。
