Audible launched a connected subscription last month that allows members to stream nearly 700 premium podcast titles directly in Apple Podcasts, available in 135 countries.
The integration gives Audible members ad-free access to an extensive catalog of Audible Originals spanning the categories of true crime, investigative journalism, celebrity-led audio dramas and personal growth.
Titles available at launch include award-winning series like Dr. Mort, American scandal, Trade wars, Die for sexAnd Hysterical, Reinvent your life with Mel Robbins, The prophecyAnd The big lie. Marshall Lewy, head of audio content for North America, said:
By integrating Audible’s distinctive catalog with Apple Podcasts, we’re allowing members to find their favorite originals where many of them already listen to their podcasts. And by making select shows and episodes widely available, we have the opportunity to introduce new listeners to the extraordinary audio storytelling that Audible offers right in the Apple Podcasts app.
Existing Audible members can access the integration by opening Apple Podcasts, where their subscription should automatically connect, or by searching for any Audible premium show and linking their account at no additional cost.
New subscribers can sign up directly through Apple Podcasts by searching for an Audible show such as Dr. Mort and subscription via the Audible app. Membership also unlocks standard Audible benefits, including one audiobook per month and an unlimited listening library.
The full Audible channel on Apple Podcasts is now available in over 135 countries. Audible says the integration is expected to roll out this month to members in Australia, Japan, and Canada.
