PITTSBURGH, PA / ACCESSWIRE / May 8, 2018 / Liberated Syndication, Inc. (OTCQB: LSYN) ("Libsyn"), a worldwide leader of podcast hosting, distribution and monetization, announced today the launch of a new template for podcast creators to quickly and easily create Alexa skills customized for their show. Libsyn worked with Amazon to design an individual podcast skill template meant to provide a great listener experience for podcast audiences with an Alexa-enabled device.

Individual podcast skills are already available for The Dave Ramsey Show, The Joe Rogan Experience, Hardcore History with Dan Carlin and the Ad Age Ad Lib Podcast, with thousands of other Libsyn-hosted podcasts to be launched in 2018.

The new Alexa skills are built for individual shows and allow the listener to navigate podcast content in the same manner that television, movies, music and other digital content is consumed on Amazon Echo and other Alexa-enabled devices. Today, there are tens of millions of Alexa-enabled devices. Alexa skills for each podcast will be available and searchable in the Alexa Skill Store via the Alexa app or on Amazon.com. Alexa can be found on over 20 million devices primarily on the Echo, Echo Dot, Tap, Echo Show, Fire TV and Fire Tablet.

"We believe smart speakers like Amazon Echo and other Alexa-enabled devices have the potential to change how and where podcasts are consumed," said Rob Walch VP of podcaster relations with Libsyn. "Audiences love the convenience of being able to control their favorite podcast on Alexa using their voice. We are thrilled to help podcasters optimize their content for voice and build Alexa skills that can extend their brand to reach even more listeners."
