Audio-based articles are on the rise 📈🔊
This newsletter was brought to you byGetViktorAudio-based articles are on the rise 📈🔊
Recently, we've been seeing quite a few new products based around a similar concept: audio-based articles. The latest one, Medium Audio Stories, was just introduced as part of Medium's paid membership offering (and it looks pretty awesome).
Listening to audiobooks has clearly caught on, but is the shorter-form audio-based article format something people want?
You can listen to articles with Pocket Listen, listen to Medium articles (for free), or listen to startup focused Medium articles with this app. Other approaches include human-narration, a reading/listening hybrid, and hiring a TaskRabbit to read your Twitter timeline bedside, every night.
Check out the products community members recommend for listening to articles.

We asked 34 customers what Viktor does for them. Not one said chatbot.
They kept using words like colleague, coworker, team member. One CEO called it the glue holding their e-commerce business together, which is a lot, but also… you see why. It lives in Slack and plugs into 3,000+ tools, so instead of jumping between tabs, you just ask for the thing. Pull Stripe against HubSpot, check Sentry alerts, spin up a campaign brief, build a landing page, send a report upstairs. It all happens there.
It has already hit top 5 on Product Hunt with 130 comments, is SOC 2 certified, and your data does not train models.One user said it was the first time AI felt like a real coworker, which is either exciting or slightly concerning depending on your week.
