CastBox

CastBox is an easy to use podcast player for podcast lovers. With a wide category of podcasts to choose from, you can stream your favorite podcasts anywhere, anytime for free. Our mission here at CastBox is to make information accessible to everyone, anytime, anywhere.

After you open the custom skill, if you want to listen to This American Life hosted by Ira Glass, all you need to do is say “Alexa, ask CastBox to play This American Life,” CastBox will play the newest episode of the show. Or you can simply say “Alexa, open CastBox”.

You can also skip past a section of a show by fast forwarding through the parts you don’t wish to hear. To do this, simply say “Alexa, ask CastBox to fast forward xxx seconds/minutes.” You can also skip directly to the next episode of a channel as well by saying “Alexa, next.”

If you login to the CastBox app on either Android or iOS, your playing progress can be saved across all devices. Here are the links to the apps:

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fm.castbox.audiobook.radio.podcast&hl=en
iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/castbox-podcast-radio-cloud-of-free-fm-sound/id1100218439?mt=8

A quick clarification:
If you’re currently using the purple version on Android, you need to update the app to the orange icon version for the account linking to work.
