How to Get Audible for $0.99 a Month for 3 Months
New members can take advantage of a complimentary Audible membership for 30 days free when you sign up. You don’t need to be a Prime member in order to receive the discount — just click the button to redeem the deal, and then fill out the information required to instantly get access to the service. Once your 30 day free trial is over, you’ll be charged the limited-time promo price of $0.99/month for the first three months (a savings of more than 90%).
Afterwards, your membership will auto-renew at $14.95/month for the Premium Plus plan that includes access to Audible Originals, audiobooks and podcasts in addition to a monthly free credit to purchase any premium book within the Audible library (regardless of price) and exclusive member-only deals and discounts.
Other Audible Originals you can check out include the eight episode series Origins, which, like Words + Music, spotlights a groundbreaking artist and gives you a peek into their mind, including where they find inspiration.

Besides Audible Originals, the service includes a vast library of audiobooks that you can add to your listening list, including musician memoirs and music books. Instead of reading Lisa Marie Presley’s memoir, you’ll be able to listen to actress Julia Roberts narrate the star’s life, or hear from JoJo as the “Too Little, Too Late” artist narrates her own memoir.

Word on the e-streets is that Amazon is looking to open a low-cost storefront to rival Temu. We just hope that if this is true, the products will be of good quality.
Website The Information (yes, that is the actual name) has seen internal information sent to Amazon merchants detailing the price caps of some of the products for the new low-cost storefront.
According to the website, prices are $8 for jewelry, $9 for bedding, $13 for guitars, and $20 for sofas. Everything under this new “Low-Cost Store” ships from its fulfillment center in Guangdong, China.
While you will be getting items for the low-low, don’t expect them to come at the breakneck delivery speeds you have grown accustomed to from Amazon. The Information reports that the new storefront will have slower shipping timelines of nine to 11 days, but sellers will be charged lower fulfillment fees.
Per Engadget:
A seller would be charged between $1.77 and $2.05 to ship a 4-8 ounce item through the Low-Cost Store, compared with a $2.67 to $4.16 charge for an item of that weight shipped under Fulfillment by Amazon from a domestic warehouse, according to The Information.
Amazon has not set price limits on its eponymous online storefront, so this new platform will be a markedly different strategy from its usual approach. It’s more in line with the pricing policy followed by Temu, which launched in 2022.
In its two years of existence, Temu has earned a reputation for selling items of poor quality; Amazon can swoop in and take control of another market if it delivers the same goods but with better quality.
We shall see what happens.

Desus Nice is taking his Bronx energy on the road. The media personality is working on a travel show for Amazon.
As spotted on Deadline, the New York City native is reportedly shooting a pilot for the streaming platform. The industry magazine says that the writer-comedian is working with Story Syndicate and Amazon MGM Studios on the project; if picked up, the series will run on Prime Video. On Wednesday (Oct. 9), he took to Instagram and made a nod to the project writing “New job alert.” While no other details about the show have been made available the travel format should be familiar territory to Desus Nice. Back in 2014, he appeared on Parts Unknown and gave the late great Anthony Bourdain a tour of the Bronx. The episode not only allowed him to shine a light on his hometown but gave many their first introduction to Desus Nice.
The man born Daniel Baker rose to fame during his Bodega Boys podcast run with his former partner The Kid Mero. From there Desus & Mero gained national popularity with their talk show on Viceland. In 2019, the series would transition to the Showtime network, which meant a bigger budget for production, but fans felt that there was something missing from the new iteration of the show. Desus & Mero would unfortunately part ways in July 2022. In an episode of 7PM In Brooklyn Mero explained a Draft Kings offer made him realized that their partnership wasn’t in a good place.

Taylor Swift is giving a whole new meaning to the fake freckle trend as she switched the traditional freckle pen for a glitter patch. Paired with her classic red lip, the 34-year-old showed off glitter freckles while making an appearance at the Kansas City Chiefs game against New Orleans Saints on Monday (Oct. 7) to cheer on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

The source behind the $16 glitter freckles is Fazit, a female-founded small business run by Nina LaBruna and Swiftie Aliett Buttelman, who has gone viral for her heartwarming response to the “Fortnight” singer wearing her fake freckles. In a TikTok that has gained more than 6 million views, Buttelman can be seen crying after discovering that the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper was wearing her beauty product.

Coupled with the newfound viral fame, the small business’ sales have skyrocketed as fans clamor to get their hands on the exact glitter freckles worn by Swift. According to another TikTok from Buttelman, sales for Fazit’s glitter freckles grew 2,500% in 13 hours after the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” singer sported the makeup — and they’re still in stock (for now).
“Grateful to @Taylor Swift amplifying small female founded businesses and the @Fazit team 🫶✨” the caption reads.

Fazit Makeup Patches
Unsurprisingly, the popularity thanks to Swift has resulted in Fazit’s Makeup Patches to become a No. 1 bestseller on Amazon for body glitters. More than 9,000 Amazon shoppers have purchased the product in the past month — and the number is only expected to continue rising. While the artist was seen wearing the gold version, there are seven shades and style to choose from, including a strawberry design.
Applying the fake freckles is similar to how you would put on a temporary tattoo: Peel the backing off the glitter freckles then place the sticky side onto your face. You’ll want to take a damp towel and apply slight pressure for at least 60 seconds, then peel off the strip and you’re done.
Once on, they’re water- and sweatproof, and can easily be taken off with makeup remover, according to the brand.

Amazon is celebrating George Michael with a special collection marking the 40th anniversary of “Careless Whisper.”
Released Monday (Sept. 9), the seven-piece collection of T-shirts and hoodies features the lyric “Tonight the music seems so loud,” from Michael’s 1984 hit single with Wham!, along with retro photos of the late singer. The shirts and sweatshirts range from $24.99-$39.99 and are available in sizes S-5XL.
“We are proud to offer George’s loyal fans and music lovers worldwide, a very special 40th-anniversary edition of his timeless classic, ‘Careless Whisper’ along with an exclusive range of merchandise, only available from the George Michael Amazon shop,” George Michael Entertainment said in a statement.

The merch comes about a month before the release of the “Carless Whisper” 40th-anniversary vinyl dropping on Oct. 18. The limited-edition vinyl is available for pre-order at Amazon and will feature a previously unheard live version of “Careless Whisper” recorded at Madison Square Garden.
Amazon Music partnered with George Michael Entertainment in 2022 to release Amazon Original remixes of tracks taken from his 1996 album, Older.
“After the incredible success of the Older remix campaign, we’re excited to extend our collaboration with Amazon Music to celebrate such a universally loved track, and pay tribute to the timeless lyrics which continue to connect with fans,” said Andy Chandler, Director of Catalogue Streaming, Sony Music U.K.
“Careless Whisper,” a breakout hit from Wham!’s sophomore album Make It Big, spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1985. The song was co-written and co-produced by Michael and was credited to Wham! featuring George Michael in the U.S. and solely to Michael in other countries, including his native U.K. The song opens with one of music’s most recognizable, and quintessentially ‘80s, saxophone rifts that’s still popular, four decades later. So popular, that “Careless Whisper” became a TikTok meme with over 42 million posts.
