In fact, the Biden's Briefingsite states that one needs only utter “Alexa, enable Biden's Briefing," to access the news roundup via an Amazon Echo device.

Biden will select his news content from an assortment of media partners, such as Bloomberg, Politico, and Wired. The site notes that the news selected will be "what Joe wants you to know" and what he believes is "worth listening to" — yet will also include stories and opinions that he doesn't necessarily agree with.

Each of the selected news pieces are introduced by Biden and read aloud by other Biden Briefing's voices. Fans of the former vice president may hope that "Amtrak Joe" chimes in to offer his unabashed view of matters, but it's too early to know how often he'll opine on the latest news.
