Amazon blog, Friday:

Beginning today, Alexa customers in the U.S. will be able to listen to more than 800,000 podcasts available through Apple Podcasts on their Alexa-enabled device.

Definitely cool, especially if you’ve got the Amazon ecosystem in your house. Be sure to make Apple Podcasts your default podcast app so you don’t repeatedly have to tell Alexa where to find your podcasts.

Whether you’re listening at home or on the go, you don’t need to worry about losing your spot. Link your account in the Alexa app using your Apple ID, and you can seamlessly pick up where you left off listening on the Apple Podcasts App or your Alexa device.

Would you “link your account in the Alexa app using your Apple ID”? This strikes me as a potential risk. Am I overworrying?
