Audm , a new app for smart
phones (they are working on a similar version for normal PC’s) is a new service. I read, or try to, a good bit of long form
articles in publications like New Yorker as they are more detailed and relevant
that “what happened yesterday” sort of news stories. They explain the background of businesses, or
the arts and why they are interesting or relevant to today’s world. Or, which are just fun to read.
I was pleased to see that
NewYorker magazine and others are partnered with this start up to have
professional readers read these articles in audio book format, so I can listen
to them rather than read them. That’s
perfect for short trips in the car, where I like to have good content such as
an audio book, or professional lecture.
It is $7 a month, or $5 a
month if you pay a year in advance. I
might give it a try, just one article a month would probably be worth it for
me.
