SubscribeFAQ
What is NPR+ and how does it work?
NPR+ is an audience-support program that provides supporters access to podcast perks like sponsor-free listening, bonus episodes, archive access, and early access to select shows. Once you sign up, you’ll see directions for how to set up these exclusive versions of NPR podcasts on your preferred listening app. By signing up for NPR+ you’ll get access to more from your favorite NPR podcasts and you’ll be supporting NPR and our Network of stations across the country.
Standard show listening experiences – without perks – remain free to everyone.
I’m an existing donor to a local station, how do I get access to NPR+?
Receiving the NPR+ bundle as a station donor requires a minimum donation of $8/month or $96/year to a participating NPR+ station or the NPR Network.
If you've already heard from your station that they have given you NPR+ benefits, select “Login” at the top of plus.npr.org and sign in using the same email you have on record with your station. You should immediately get an email to login and start using NPR+.
While many participating stations may offer this benefit to their existing donors, some stations do not. To inquire about access as an existing donor or if you’re having trouble redeeming your benefits, please reach out directly to your Member station for more information. You can find your local station’s website here.
When will the bundle be available in my area?
We are working hard to get every NPR Member station offering NPR+ in their markets! Thank you for your patience.
If your local or preferred station is not yet offering NPR+, we encourage you to contact them to request they offer it (you can find your local station’s website here). If you don’t want to wait for your local station to offer it, you can also choose to enroll via a gift to another station, or to the NPR Network.
Can I give NPR+ as a gift?
Yes! To give NPR+ as a gift, select the product you would like to give. Then select “Buy a gift” to sign up. You can choose to give NPR+ for a duration of six or 12 months. Your gift will expire after the selected time frame, and you will not be charged when that period ends. The recipient of your gift will be prompted to sign up directly to maintain access to NPR+ after your gift period expires.
Which is more beneficial to public media – single show subscriptions, or the NPR+ bundle?
You are free to pick whichever feels right to you! Both singles and the NPR+ bundle directly support the essential work of public media.
Can I change my NPR+ bundle station?
Yes, you can change which station your NPR+ bundle gift supports. You’ll first need to cancel your existing gift and then initiate a new one with the desired station. To do this, first log into your NPR+ account to cancel your existing gift. Then return to plus.npr.org to initiate a new enrollment with your preferred station. Please bear in mind, this will require you to reestablish your NPR+ podcasts in your podcast app.
I’m a PBS Passport member – do I get access to NPR+ too?
If you are supporting a station that offers Passport and NPR+ then you may be eligible to bundle the two programs into a single gift. Please contact your local station directly to inquire. You can find your local station’s website here.
I need some help! Who should I contact?
We have tons of help articles that we hope will be useful, from which stations currently offer NPR+, to instructions on how to access NPR+ podcasts in your favorite app, how to change your payment method, and more. You can see a list of all of our help articles here. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, or just prefer a human touch, visit help.npr.org and follow the prompts to write us a message.
