Noa is an audio app, available on both iPhone and Android.

We bring you the world’s very best opinion, feature, and analysis articles, curated by our team of editors and read aloud word-for-word by celebrated audiobook narrators.

It’s the easiest way to understand and know more about the most important topics shaping the world. There are no filter bubbles and no algorithms, and our editorial approach is to be as objective and as open-minded as possible to ensure you can form your own opinion having heard multiple perspectives.

You can also listen on our website, in-car, and via Alexa.

We’re headquartered in Dublin, Ireland but have a global audience and a global team.

In short, Series make you smarter.

Series are the name given to the playlists that our editors create on a daily basis. Each Series covers a specific topic and includes between two and five articles (which we call Episodes, to stick with the ‘TV series’ theme).

At the beginning of each Series is a short 60-second to 2-minute introduction, which is written by a Noa editor. This intro provides valuable context on the subject at hand.

Series are hands down the easiest way to understand and know more about important and complex topics. You’ll walk away having heard multiple perspectives from the world’s best journalists and be well-equipped to form your own opinion on the subject at hand.

Yes, we have a team of narrators who record the very best articles word-for-word (or ‘unabridged’ as we say in the spoken-word space).

Our narrators are a mix of male and female, multiple ethnicities, and are based in the U.S., U.K., and Ireland.

You can listen to Noa on our iPhone or Android apps, on our website (after signing up), in-car via Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, or on Alexa by saying “Alexa, enable News Over Audio”.

You can also download audio articles and Series (which is what we call playlists) in the Noa apps.

You can listen free by simply signing up. You’ll get a handful of articles every week and don’t need to pay a thing, but some publishers will not be accessible on the free tier (like HBR or the NYT) and you’ll hear occasional audio ads.

To get full, ad-free access you can subscribe to Noa Premium.
