Spotify is expanding into a new arena: long-form magazine articles.

On Tuesday (May 26), the streaming service announced it will now host narrated audio articles from outlets including Rolling Stone, The Atlantic, Vogue, Variety, Billboard, Vibe, GQ, WIRED, Vanity Fair and Pitchfork. At launch, the platform is offering more than 650 long-form articles, which are now available in English to users who reside in markets where audiobooks are available. Each narrated article, included in Premium users’ monthly audiobooks allowance, is under two hours long. Free users can buy individual articles for $1.99 each.
