1) Play Radio
You choose to play live talk, music or hybrid with phrases like:
"play talk radio"
"listen to music"
"hybrid radio"

If you say just "play radio", it will look to see what/if you played last and use that, otherwise it will prompt you for a format. If you want to change your default, just say something like "play talk radio". This will update your default and play the talk format.

"play Exploring the Word" (this plays the latest podcast)
