We debate the Apple Special Event, talk about Spotify's brilliant new marketing strategies, explore how you can build Alexa Skills with no development expertise, learn how Hue lights are the secret to perfect kitchen dance parties (or 'sexytime') and we go niche hunting music genres! Oh, and we learn why you can't buy sexy knickers from Victoria's Secret with the new Apple credit card. (Or can you?)

I asked Amazon Alexa Skills Marketing Employee #1 Dave Isbitski about Alexa Blueprints. What are they? Essentially they're a way to use a free, visual dashboard to create your own Alexa Skill. This is something all businesses should be aware of. What is an Alexa Blueprint? Dave says “one of the things I’m most excited about that has been happening in the last 18 months or so are Alexa Blueprints.” You can go to https://blueprints.amazon.com and create an Alexa Skill in minutes. Blueprints is a visual tool for creating a Skill. Now you can share them and publish them to the Alexa Skills Store for anyone to download and use. This can be a great tool for brands and businesses to connect with customers. So an Alexa Blueprint is a visual tool for creating an Alexa Skill. Brilliant. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/paulhickey/support

Author of Feast: True Love in and out of the Kitchen Interview starts at 15:50 and ends at 41:48 “It's not that I sought out to be published by Amazon. It was that Amazon happened to be the people who believed in me and my book, and they've been so wonderful to work with. I do feel also that Little A is a tiny imprint within a huge company, so I kind of get the best of both worlds--that personal TLC and the brawn of the marketing and other kinds of reach of Amazon.” News Jeff Bezos's 2018 Letter to Shareowners “Jeff Bezos reveals Amazon has 100 million Prime members in letter to shareholders” by Eugene Kim at CNBC - April 18, 2018 David Axelrod interviews Jay Carney, Amazon's senior vice president for public affairs, on The Axe Files podcast - March 7, 2018 Tech Tip “How to build your own Alexa skills with the new Alexa Blueprints” by Chaim Gartenberg at The Verge - April 19, 2018 Amazon Alexa Skills Blueprints Interview with Hannah Howard Feast: True Love in and out of the Kitchen The Recovering: Intoxication and Its Aftermath by Leslie Jamison Bennington College MFA in Writing program Literary agent Andrea Somberg Morgan Parker Laura Van der Veer Too Good to Be True by Ben Anastas The Suicide Index: Putting My Father's Death in Order by Joan Wickersham Autobiography of a Face by Lucy Grealy Truth & Beauty: A Friendship by Ann Patchett Fairway Market Dean & DeLuca FreshDirect Content AmazonCrossing's celebration of World Book Day - nine books are available free through April 24, 2018 Next Week's Guest Rev.
