Like other streaming services Pandora has fallen in love with podcasts and to get more people listening all of their users can now stream them on Alexa devices.

Pandora’s huge podcast library includes shows covering True Crime, News, Sports, Music, Comedy, Kids, Lifestyle & Health from creators like TED Talks, Talib Kweli, Dave Ramsey, Dolly Parton and many more. Now all of these podcasts can be streamed through Alexa-enabled devices like Amazon Echo speakers.

Users can use voice commands with their devices to simply tell it what podcasts they want to hear. For example, they can say: “Alexa, play the Sway’s Interviews podcast on Pandora” and it will do just that.
