I tried to finish listening via Alexa on my Dot 3 to the podcast I subscribed to yesterday. I quickly decided that attempting to control podcasts, or even select the precise episode you want to listen too, is a very frustrating task when using voice commands and Alexa. So I'm back to using iTunes on my MacBook Pro because I can play the podcasts in the background and use the keyboard buttons (Fast Reverse, Pause/Play, Fast Forward, and volume) to easily control the podcasts. I can also use the visual lists in iTunes to quickly select which one to play. That is much quicker than using voice commands, and I don't have to yell at Alexa!
