I'm a big fan of audio books. After all, it's a great way to learn while you're stuck in the commute, so you don't end up wasting your time. So, this is actually a great extension of that.

What I find most interesting about this product, though, is the selection of news sites that users can get their news from. With articles from The Washington Post, Aeon, and The Economist, this looks like a bargain at about $60 a year, especially if you already pay subscriptions to these services. Let's just hope that the narrators sound as good as the service makes them out to be. It would be disappointing if they weren't. Good thing there's a free trial so no need to commit to the service blind.
