Our household picked up an Amazon Echo recently. If you love audio gadgets and you have the money, try out Amazon Echo or Google Home.
It was an honor to see that Amazon essentially copied our 1 Radio News PlayMix feature where you can mix short audio headlines from multiple sources (podcasts) to create your own update. Great minds think alike. 😉
However, with 1 Radio News Pro:
- You can take your headlines everywhere with your Android phone.
- You can start your PlayMix (headlines) anywhere you want … among your hourly headlines, daily shows, or weekly favorites.
- You can visually find more on-demand global news in English from obscure hourly, daily, and weekly services.
- Like Amazon Alexa, you can launch your PlayMix with a voice command with our new auto-play option on. But we don’t have other fancy voice commands like … stop. 😉
- 1 Radio News Pro is 97% cheaper than the Amazon Echo and no special device is needed.
That said, our family really enjoys our Amazon Echo and the spread of the concept of a “flash briefing” for news headlines will only send more people our way looking for a different way to experience fresh news on-demand.
