Listen to RTBS on your Alexa!


RTBS has an Alexa Skill which provides access to our programming.  With this skill, you can easily select a magazine, a news program, or one of our other selections to listen to, or listen to our live stream.

HOW TO USE:

Get started by saying, “Alexa, enable the Radio Talking Book Nebraska skill”

Alexa will read you the main options: Listen live, play a certain podcast, listen to the program directory, or listen to the broadcast schedule.

To listen live, say “Live”. To play a certain show, say the show name. To hear a categorized list of all programs, say “Directory.” To hear the broadcast schedule, say “Schedule.” All times are U.S. Central.

You can always hear a certain program in one step by saying, “Alexa, ask Radio Talking Book Nebraska to play…” followed by the program name.
