I didn’t have any problems getting Rush on my Alexa today. I use a local station, 94.5WFLA.FM. I also keep my microphone on mute.
Even when your microphone is on mute, it’s not on mute.
I don’t own an Alexa and never intend to. I disabled Alexa on my Kindle but have to believe that Amazon is still listening. So when I’m not using it it lives in the bottom of a draw filled with thick, fluffy towels. Or sitting in a spare bedroom with the TV on tuned to Univision. Let ‘em stream ads to me in a language I don’t speak.
