Thematic podcast radio

We are two workers of a startup called iVoox, that is an on demand audio platform. Our automation wants to be a thematic radio that allows you to listen best podcasts and radio programs of your favourite topic.

The needed hardware is just a Raspberry Pi 2 and 4 buttons. One to play/pause the shows, one to go to the next show if current don't like it, and two buttons to navigate between topics.

We will develop some APIs that catch the most popular and recent shows of every topic of out platform, always depending on your current country. The hardware will check the API and play the returned content.

The automation working diagram will be something like this:

- When you push play/pause button, we will access to the API of the last selected topic and stat playing an audio.

- If user did not finish the last audio, it will resume.

- When user push next button, we will offer a new audio.

- When user push next or previous station, an audio confirmation will be played with a voice indicating the selected topic and a new audio will start playing.
