You can learn basic Portuguese, Arabic, and Swedish, just by using Spotify. And for those of you who want to learn another language, Word has that too Spotify has America’s most famous Presidential speeches such as F.D.R.’s Declaration of War (“A date which will live in infamy.”) and Nixon’s Watergate speech (“I am not a crook.”) but also dozens that I had never heard before or didn’t know the importance of until listening. I love listening to Obama’s “ Yes, We Can Speech,” which of course is on this playlist. Presidential Voices is the most interesting playlist It’s only 15 minutes long but is hilarious and insightful. “ How to tell a story” is a classic short essay by Mark Twain on how to tell a funny story. If you’re unfamiliar with MLK speeches then start with “We Shall Overcome” and “The American Dream.” The Editor’s Choice section also has a few gems There’s also the radio announcement of his death as well as a few other famous speeches. Spotify has his famous “ I Have a Dream” speech as well as a few songs written for or about MLK. Another favorite of mine is the Martin Luther King, Jr. I particularly like “ Light Night Tales” because it’s narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch and he, as you can imagine, has a beautiful voice. One of my favorite categories is Short Stories I listened to The Great Gatsby on my flight home the other day. There are dozens of categories to choose fromĪudiobooks are the most popular. Comedy, Ted Talks, audiobooks, interviews, speeches, old radio shows, and other interesting tidbits. The Word section is everything on Spotify that isn’t music. The Word section can be found at the bottom of the page after clicking “Browse.” I’d most certainly propose if only you were a tall brunette. When I excitedly told my buds about this section they were just as surprised as I was that this existed.Īnd so, to celebrate my love for Spotify, I’m here to tell you the best gems within the Word section. Like a vidalia onion or vintage red wine, Spotify revealed to me a layer of itself that I never knew existed: its spoken word section.Īs the title perfectly describes, the Word section is a set of files that feature famous speeches, song commentary, college lectures, and audiobooks.
The other day however, I discovered a section of playlists in the depths of Spotify’s Browse section that made me fall more in love with my beautiful, electronic mistress more than I thought possible. And don’t get me started on their running feature that plays music that matches my pace. Spotify’s Discovery Playlist makes Mondays exciting. My work day, running, and traveling experiences have changed forever.
On any given day I use Spotify for at least five hours. The $10 I spend every month on Spotify is easily my best online purchase.
