How to get Audible for free this Amazon Prime Day

Independent09-07-2025
Calling all book lovers and audiobook enthusiasts, Amazon Prime Day is in full swing, and the online giant has an unmissable deal that will get you a full membership to Audible completely free for three months.
With an Audible membership, you'll be able to dip into its library of more than 400,000 titles spanning bestsellers and new releases, as well as podcasts, audio dramas, and Audible Originals.
The three-month free trial deal gets you one free title every month for three months. After that, it's $14.95 per month, but if you cancel your three-month trial before the end of your first three months, you won't have to pay anything.
As well as the Audible deal, Amazon is busy slashing prices on everything from Apple AirPods Pro (the earbuds are currently the lowest they've ever been) to beauty, but if it's Audible you want, here's how you can get the free three-month membership.
Audiobook subscription service Audible is currently free for three months for Amazon Prime subscribers who've never had Audible before (or haven't been a member in the last 12 months). You can listen to thousands of select Audible Originals, podcasts, and audiobooks.
Once your trial period comes to an end, an Audible subscription will cost $14.95 each month, which will pay for one audiobook (each month) as well as the above. The offer will end on July 31, so you've still got plenty of time to subscribe after Prime Day ends.

Americans encouraged to Venmo and Paypal the government to pay off national debt

As the US national debt nears $38trillion, the government has proposed a novel way for citizens to help pay off the tab. Americans are being encouraged to make donations with their Venmo and Paypal accounts. The option for a 'gift to reduce the Public Debt' was added to the US Department of the Treasury website a few months ago. It means that philanthropic residents with a burning desire to pay off Uncle Sam's debt will now have the option to use those methods, alongside traditional ones such as account transfers and credit and debit card payments. Allowing citizens to pay off the national debt - among other tabs - is nothing new, as the US Treasury, run by Scott Bessent, has long offered the option since 1996. But it seems they are now tapping into more popular payment systems, like Gen-Z favorite Venmo, to make it more easily accessible for those hesitant to attach their card and bank details. The current national debt stands at $36,721,531,033,602, as of Friday.

The debt has grown each year since 2001, where it was at $10.3trillion and it doesn't appear the US will downsize its growing bill anytime soon after passing the Big Beautiful Bill. President Donald Trump's prized bill will add $3.4trillion to the debt over 10 years. The federal government also spent nearly $7trillion in the 2024 fiscal year, but collected approximately $5trillion. The US Treasury Department has burned through cash at a historic rate in March - an alarming signal that may require lawmakers to intervene to prevent the country from defaulting on the national debt. The agency burned through $286billion in the month of March alone. This is the largest single-month drawdown in American history, and it's only rivaled by the Treasury spending $279billion in August 2021 during the height of the pandemic. The change to payment methods was first spotted by NPR's Jack Corbett on X. Though it may seem unlikely that any American citizens would willingly hand the government more money, the feds have garnered $67.3million through the donation program since its inception. Although it may seem like a large amount, the government burns through that it less than a half an hour.

Company involved in Coldplay KissCam drama hires Gwyneth Paltrow as spokesperson

Astronomer — the company whose CEO resigned after being caught on a KissCam at a Coldplay rock concert embracing a woman who was not his wife — is trying to move on from the drama with someone who knows the band pretty well. Actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who was married to Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin for 13 years, announced Friday on X that she has been hired by Astronomer as a spokesperson. Astronomer, a tech company based in New York, found itself in an uncomfortable spotlight when two of its executives were caught on camera in an intimate embrace at a Coldplay concert — a moment that was then flashed on a giant screen in the stadium. CEO Andy Byron and human resource executive Kristin Cabot were caught by surprise when Martin asked the cameras to scan the crowd during a concert earlier this month. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' Martin joked when the couple appeared on screen and quickly tried to hide their faces. In a short video, the 'Shakespeare in Love' and 'Ironman' star said she had been hired as a 'very temporary' spokesperson for Astronomer. 'Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days and they wanted me to answer the most common ones,' Paltrow said, smiling and deftly avoiding mention of the KissCam fuss. 'We've been thrilled that so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation,' she said. 'We will now be returning to what we do best — delivering game-changing results for our customers.' When footage from the KissCam first spread online, it wasn't immediately clear who the couple were. Soon after the company identified the pair, and Byron resigned followed by Cabot. The video clip resulted in a steady stream of memes, parody videos and screenshots of the pair's shocked faces filling social media feeds. Online streams of Coldplay's songs jumped 20% in the days after the video went viral, according to Luminate, an industry data and analytics company.

Allianz Life: Insurance giant says most US customer data stolen in cyber-attack

Hackers have stolen personal information of a majority of insurance firm Allianz Life's 1.4 million customers in North America, its parent company said."On July 16, 2025, a malicious threat actor gained access to a third-party, cloud-based CRM system used by Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz Life)," Allianz said in a statement to the BBC. The German parent company added that the hackers were "able to obtain personally identifiable data related to the majority of Allianz Life's customers, financial professionals, and select Allianz Life employees, using a social engineering technique".The data breach was only related to Allianz Life, according to the company. The insurance company disclosed the data breach in a legal filing with the attorney general in the US state of Maine. It did not specify how many people had been affected. In the statement, the insurance company said it had taken "immediate action" to contain the breach and had notified the FBI. It said that there was "no evidence the Allianz Life network or other company systems were accessed, including our policy administration system". Allianz - which has over 125 million customers globally - added that it was in the process of contacting and assisting the individuals affected by the data breach. A social engineering cyber-attack is when hackers pressure or trick users into giving away sensitive information, such as by impersonating a trusted company or person.
