Abstract
A system may provide a voice user interface (VUI) for sending a media comment (e.g., brief clips of audio data representing speech) to a media content creator such as a podcaster, talk show, music app, etc. The system can identify a destination for the media comment based on context (e.g., an identifier corresponding to media content currently or recently output by a user device) and/or via voice dialog with the user. Content creators can invite, receive, and play users' media comments on the show, thereby increasing audience engagement. A media comment may include a request for or dedication of a song, a 'shout out' to another listener, a story/opinion, a question, a response to a poll, a contest entry, etc.
