Ask the BBC

If you know the right words, listening to the BBC via Alexa has some new features. From now on, if you've linked the Alexa app and your BBC account, you can pick up on a paused programme you've been listening to, say, on a smartphone. And vice versa, via 'Continue Listening'.

You can also ask Alexa for track listings: “Alexa, ask the BBC what’s playing?” If you're listening to a series of podcasts or programmes, you can skip forward or back between episodes with “Alexa, next” or “Alexa, previous”.

And moving within programmes can be done: “Alexa, ask the BBC to rewind 30 seconds”, or  “Alexa, ask the BBC to fast forward 5 minutes”.
