ProgressiListen: Audio News

Keep up with progressive and liberal-leaning US politics without staring at a screen. ProgressiListen reads the day's political stories to you as short spoken summaries, in a calm and even tone, so you can stay informed while you drive, walk the dog or fold laundry. WHAT YOU HEAR Headlines come from the public news feeds of a curated set of progressive news outlets, covering Congress, the courts, elections, policy and the issues shaping them. Each story becomes a Quick Take: an AI summary of about 60 to 90 seconds that reports what the article says, credits opinions to the outlet or the people quoted, and adds no name-calling or labels of its own. HOW TO LISTEN 1. Star the outlets you read most; they move to the top. 2. Tap any headline to hear its Quick Take, or turn on Play All Sources for a continuous stream that moves from outlet to outlet and loops back. 3. Long-press to pick several stories and play them in order. 4. Tap "Read full article" whenever you want the whole piece from the publisher. ALSO INCLUDED • Speaking speed control and a choice of your phone's best voice • Go back to the previous Quick Take; save and share Quick Takes • Add any other news site with its web address or RSS link • One optional breaking-news alert a day at most, and you can switch it off • Pauses for phone calls; no account or sign-up FREE AND PREMIUM • Free with ads: up to 12 Quick Takes a day, plus an optional short ad for 3 more, up to 5 times a day. • ProgressiListen Premium: $4.99 a month in the US (Google Play shows the price in your currency). Premium removes all ads and raises the daily limit to 80 Quick Takes. It renews monthly until you cancel it in Google Play. ABOUT QUICK TAKES Quick Takes are written by AI (Google Gemini) from publicly available articles in publishers' RSS feeds and can be incomplete or wrong. Read the original story before you rely on a summary. Each Quick Take is a transformative summary that links back to the full article.
