The way Noa arranges articles into short playlists (which they call “Series”) is brilliant! These Series make it easy to stay on top of all the news around the world.

What are Series?
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.
Are the articles read by real people?
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.
Where can I listen?
What does it cost? And is there a free trial?
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.

Is there a student option?
How easy is it to cancel?
