Becoming a Sustaining Member of WUOT and Enjoy the NPR+ Podcast Bundle!

As of fall 2025, WUOT now offers the NPR+ podcast bundle as a special thank you gift for sustaining members.

What is NPR+?

NPR+ is a special collection of podcast benefits that includes bonus episodes, sponsor-free listening, and even early access and archive access for some of NPR’s most popular podcasts. This means you can listen to podcasts like Up First or Code Switch with no inserted sponsor breaks, and you can even enjoy bonus episodes and behind the scenes content for shows like Planet Money, Fresh Air, Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me and now Car Talk. You can see all of the included podcasts on our NPR+ signup page.

How do I get NPR+?

It’s easy - set up a sustaining membership (monthly gift) to WUOT on either our main donation page here or at plus.npr.org/wuot. Once your sustaining membership is confirmed, you’ll get an invite email to set up your account. If you are giving through our main donation page (instead of plus.npr.org/wuot) this invite may take a few days, so we appreciate your patience!

I’m already a donor to WUOT, do I get access to the NPR+ Podcast Bundle automatically?

If you are an existing sustaining member, WUOT will invite you to NPR+ via a special invitation email and link. You will then need to activate your NPR+ account to get access. If you haven’t received an email inviting you to activate your account by December 2025, but you are sure that you have an existing sustaining membership, email us at membership@wuot.org and we’ll help you get set up!
