#28: In this tutorial, we'll detail how to set up a flash briefing skill that feeds an .mp3 file as content for an Amazon Alexa flash briefing. This is actually a very simple process with almost no coding.

A Flash Briefing skill adds content to the built-in Alexa Flash Briefings feature. A flash briefing skill can provide updates in the form of audio or text clips that Alexa reads to users. Flash Briefing skills are a great way to provide timely blog summaries, podcast updates, and notifications, among other things.

Each flash briefing skill includes one or more content streams. So when users enable flash briefing skills, they can simply say, “Alexa, give me my flash briefing” to hear all the content for each flash briefing skill they have enabled.
