- DTD664 Adventurer - Village of Frandon and Faith giving us a bit of a song
With some great sound effects included, and some great ukulele sounds coming from off-mike, today we take a look at a brilliantly tongue-in-cheek choose your own adventure game about the unfortunate village of Frandon benighted by One-Eyed Willy the pirate - its five stars well deserved. We then finish off with an impronptu bit of Spanish singing from Faith for no particular reason. All booking requests to [email protected] (she made me write that bit).
10 min - DTD663 The Daily Prophet (revisited) and World of Letters
Two more very quick demos from Patrick Steggle ([email protected]) today - the first we've done before, but a veeery long time ago, and the second sounds spookily similar to the Grand Slam Word Game we recently covered, but whithout the funny voice. Here's hoping one or the other is available where you are. Probably not both. A body can only take so many anagrams…
6 min - DTD662 Skype calls, Blueprints and Follow Up mode
New to the UK, Blueprints brings a bunch of new features to your Echo, and Follow Up Mode keeps the A-lady listening a little longer. We also look at another new feature (to the world?), you can now use your Echo to make Skype calls. Absolutely superb stuff! Big thanks to Rob and Juliet Winter for tipping me the nod on these top tips.

Today Patrick Steggle ([email protected]) asks you guys out there to send in your demos. Email them to [email protected] if you're half as brave as I think you are…
3 min - DTD661 Trivia Blast
With Sam's help, today we have a crack at this sudden-death trivia skill. I wouldn't call it having a blast, though, as we were ejected both times with slightly dubious decisions IMHO.

- DTD659 O2 NSPCC Parents vs Kids Quiz
That Richard Osmand fella is back (I still don't know who he is) and he's helping kids stay safe online with this great skill from the mobile network provider; O2, and the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children; the NSPCC. You can open it with the shorter 'Parents vs Kids Quiz'.
9 min - DTD658 Guess My Word
Is it a word game or is it just general knowledge? Today's skill ticks both boxes if you ask me. Nice sound effects too. Tick, tick, tickety-tick.
6 min - DTD657 Daily Connection
What connects a super skill about words with entertaining audio into your (hopefully) eager earholes? Why Patrick Steggle ([email protected]) of course!
6 min - DTD656 Geo Pursuit
With a mixture of really hard and pretty straightforward questions about this big old world of ours, today's skill is for everyone who likes a combination of geographical trivia and a biiiiiiit of a challenge.
