Spotify Premium lets you download up to 10,000 songs on up to five devices, so that you don't have to use your precious mobile data to stream your favorite music and podcasts on the go. This podcast is a Spotify original, and definitely sets itself apart from others in its genre. In each episode, the narrator flips back the calendar to examine a true crime event from that.

Download the Alexa app, open it, and link your Spotify account with these steps:

  1. Tap the menu in the top-left.
  2. Tap Settings, then Music & Podcasts.
  3. Select Spotify, then Link account to Alexa.
  4. Enter your Spotify account details.

Set Spotify as your default service for music and podcasts so you don’t need to specify “on Spotify” at the end of your voice commands to play music:

  1. Tap the menu in the top-left.
  2. Tap Settings, then Music & Podcasts.
  3. Tap Choose default music services.
    Note: To set Spotify as your default podcast service, tap Choose default podcast service.
  4. Select Spotify and tap DONE.

Note: You still need to say “on Spotify” at the end of commands to play podcasts.
