A tech podcast host was recording an episode discussing Alexa's shopping features and demonstrated how easy it was to accidentally place orders. By the time the episode aired, listeners reported their own Alexas had been triggered by the audio and placed orders for items mentioned during the recording. One listener ended up with 150 individual cat toys and a $400 Amazon charge traced to the podcast.
