"Called Alexa Podcasts, the tool allows users to ask Alexa+ to create a podcast on any topic, and the system will research the subject, produce a structured overview, and deliver it as an audio episode narrated by two AI-generated co-hosts in a conversational format."
"Users initiate a podcast by asking Alexa+ to create one on a subject of their choice, anything from a historical event to a scientific concept to a current news topic. The system researches the subject using available sources, generates a structured overview, and then allows the user to customise the episode's length, tone, and focus before production."
"The finished episode is narrated by two virtual co-hosts whose voices are entirely AI-generated, delivering the content in the conversational back-and-forth style that has become standard in podcasting. Episodes are delivered as notifications on Echo Show devices and saved in the Alexa app for later listening."
"The feature began rolling out in the United States on 18 May 2026. It is available to Alexa+ subscribers, which includes all Amazon Prime members at no additional cost. Non-Prime users can access Alexa+ for $19.99 per month."
