Dot to Dot - the daily 5min Alexa demo show

Today we cover a simple skill that delivers daily dollops of HP goodness (is HP Sauce a thing where you are? Probably not as the 'HP' of its name stands for 'Houses of Parliament') and follow it up with a half-hearted reprise of Harry Potter Letters. It's all about quality on this podcast… and if not quality then certainly quantity. We have reached episode 500, after all.

Juliet and Rob Winter are back again with a brilliant skill demo; Trivia Hero. Pit your trivia wits against the clock and clock up points in this excellent and sound-effects-stuffed skill.

Today we look at the various ways you can listen to Dot to Dot on your Echo. You can listen using the built-in TuneIn skill, add it to your daily flash briefing or via the excellent AnyPod skill which gives you far more control over your podcast playback. Here's a full list of AnyPod instructions.

Penny's back ([email protected] with a great brainteaser of a skill. Think Green Glass Door meets a Magimatician. I just made that word up. It means someone who can only do tricks with numbers … … and perhaps spellings (hint).

Once enabled you can just ask for 'Basketball Million', today's skill is a must for anyone who likes both basketball and 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire'. If you don't mind someone who knows nothing about basketball demoing this skill, then listen on…

Rill's back to bring us the amazing and most wonderful world that is the Wizard of Oz. Well, more of a land than a world. And more the Oz bit rather than the wizard bit. He's more like a man. If the wizard was more like a world than a man, well, then that would be a horse of a very different colour.

If you like basketball and don't mind a stupid English person providing completely random answers just so as he can demonstrate today's skill, then today's episode might be for you. If you like basketball but not stupid English people then this skill, but not today's episode, might be the way to go.

She's back. Penny Golden ([email protected]) brings us a nice wildlife fact provider skill - and then I follow up with a similar, but entirely different, skill of the same name.

With probably the richest soundscape of any choose-your-own adventure story, today's skill's a keeper. Join Pac-Man on his quest to rid the world of rubbish - but do we save the duck??

Create a crazy story in no time with this great skill brought to us by the brill Rill. No sound effects but hey-ho - life's still good.
