Play podcasts from iPhone?

[Sleeper12]

Hi all. Just got the 2nd gen Echo today, so I’m super new. I’d like to listen to podcasts from my iPhone through the Alexa Echo. I don’t see a way to do that yet. Can I?

Just connect your iPhone to the Echo Dot via Bluetooth. Be sure your iPhone is ready to pair and then say "Alexa, Pair."
Be aware that anything that you do on your phone will come out via the Dot's speaker (except for phone calls), even when you least expect it. The Dot doesn't know what you're doing on your iPhone, whether it's  music, podcasts, or anything else. And your iPhone will just see the Dot as an external speaker. When you don't want to use the Dot as a Bluetooth speaker any longer, make sure to disconnect the Bluetooth.

Thanks so much for the response. I’ll try that and let you all know if there’s a problem
