Description

Hello,
I sincerely apologise for using this repo to communicate, but I found not other channel to reach PocketCasts+ support.

The question is about Amazon Alexa PocketCasts skill. Is there a simple way to resume / play a podcast or up-next playilst without Alexa asking back something along "Resume most recent 'bla bla bla very long name I don't need to hear' podcast" or "Do you want me to play 'exact name you just said' podcast episode"?

I just want to set up a morning routine where most the recent unplayed episode of a podcast or "up next" just plays __automattically__ (pun intended) without any extra interaction on my part, and with Pocket Casts it seems undoable. Prove me wrong please?

Thank you for great product otherwise!
