Andrea Barker ([email protected]) brings us the A-lady's take on the classic table-toss game; 'Pass the Pigs'. Using virtual dice instead of plastic porkers, I think this skill's a keeper.

Another skill direct from Amazon today. Amazon Storytime brings great short stories to kids of all ages (including 47).

Shaun Williams ([email protected]) takes us through the seedy streets of Gotham City with this great immersive choose-your-own audio-adventure skill. Can I be Robin?

Practice spying things with your mind's little eye with this great skill brought to us by Penny Golden ([email protected]). If in doubt it's probably 'Bananas'!

Andrea Barker ([email protected]) is back with a groovy new skill. The Dice Game has a rather archane set of rules that soon make sense once you get rolling.

Need some help, inspiration or information that might just jog you along on your journey towards quitting? If so then Bella may be the boost you need.

Do you dare find out whether you're a real human, or whether you're actually a synthetic approximation of one whose memories are fabricated and family photos faked? Scary. Try this test at your own risk. You have been warned…

Penny Golden ([email protected]) provides us with another great skill. Amazing Universe serves up stellar facts on several celestial  subjects - and then I top things off with a mention that the A-lady herself really knows what's what when it comes to out-of-this-world info too.

Steve Bauer's back with a great demo all about the Echo Tap - what it is and how you can check its charge. I then follow up with a quick comment to confirm that Echo announcements are now available here in the UK. Charge your Tap, pop it in the garden, hide in the house and broadcast your banter to the world (maniacal laugh).

Taking us on the dusty trail with our creaky wagon and tireless oxen, Penny Golden ([email protected]) will help us ford rivers, lassoo wild mustangs and dodge Cherokees. I don't know where all these car references suddenly came from - it's a wheely-big wagon we're in on this Oregon trail... BTW if you think one of the family will get scalped let the world know using #DTDPod
