New skill: Cockatoo News - Interactive audio news

[cockatooai]

Hi all,

Our first skill has been published to the Amazon store, and we appreciate your feedbacks! Link to the skill on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0758T4JFQ

The skill is called Cockatoo News. It reads hourly news from 90+ sources, allows efficient navigate/skip news, and provides commands to ask for news from specific topics (e.g., business, sports, politics), sources (e.g., CNN, ESPN, Bloomberg), or entities (e.g., Trump, Amazon).

This is my first time posting here. Please let me know if this post violates any rules in this forum. It's awesome to know so many guys who also love Alexa!

this skill looks pretty cool. wondering what are the news sources you have and could you play some pod-cast contents?

Thanks a lot for trying our skill. Currently we have hourly news crawled from 90+ sources including ESPN, CNN, BBC, and Bloomberg. If you ask Alexa to list sources, she will give you more information. We also plan to send a list of sources to user's phone when asked.

For pod cast, we do have plan to collaborate with some providers to bring some good contents to Alexa. Do you happen to know some interesting pod cast?
