You can listen here on this page, as well as find instructions on how to listen on USB, via the telephone and Amazon Alexa. If you’re not normally online, you may be eligible to receive our content by post. Please feel free to contact us for more information on how to start receiving this.
USB Player:
Five Valley Sounds can supply each of our listeners with a weekly USB stick of our recording and a USB player free of charge, if needed, and we will show you how to use it.
Phone:
You can listen at any time by calling our Listening Line on 01453 357 753. It will cost only the same as a local call and, once you’re connected, you can listen to our latest edition. If you’d like to have more control then press 0 during playback for instructions on how to skip forwards and back, play, pause and so on. The system will remember which story you were listening to, so if you have to hang up and call back you won’t start back at the beginning. This bookmark will only last until our next edition goes live though.
Amazon Alexa:
To setup Alexa to play our service, say:
Alexa, enable Talking Newspapers
Once you’ve done that once, you can listen whenever you like by saying:
Alexa, ask Talking Newspapers to play Five Valley Sounds Talking News
When using Alexa you can give further commands such as:
Alexa; play, pause, stop, next track, previous track and cancel
