NPR+ Podcast Bundle

KCBX sustaining members can get complimentary access to NPR+, a special collection of podcast benefits.

The NPR+ podcast collection offers sponsor-free listening, bonus episodes and early access of NPR’s popular podcasts, like Up First, Fresh Air, Code Switch and Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me!

How do I get NPR+?

It’s easy—just set up a recurring donation to KCBX at a minimum of $8/month or $96/year at kcbx.plus.npr.org. Once your sustaining donation is confirmed, you’ll get an invite email to set up your account. In some cases this invite may take a few days, so we appreciate your patience!

I’m already a donor—how to I get access?

Great news! If you are an existing KCBX sustaining member (minimum $8/month or $96/year), you’re automatically eligible for the NPR+ podcast benefit. You may already have access, so here are two ways to check:

1. Check your inbox for an activation email with a link to set up your account. We may have already granted you access.

2. If you can't find an activation email, go to the login page on the NPR+ website. Enter the email address that you use when donating to KCBX. If your account is eligible for NPR+, you'll get an activation email to set up your account.

If you haven't gotten an email after following these steps, then email us at members@kcbx.org and we’ll be happy to get you set up! Please be patient, as there is a little manual work on our end.

Give the gift of NPR+

You can give NPR+ access as a gift to friends, family, or anyone else you think would enjoy sponsor-free, early access, and bonus content from NPR.

To give NPR+ as a gift, select the “Give NPR+ as a gift” option under the donation section at kcbx.plus.npr.org. Fill out the form and we'll send an email (along with a personalized message from you) to the recipient to help them get their account set 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 automatically charged when that period ends. The recipient of your gift will will be prompted to sign up directly to maintain access to NPR+ after your gift period expires.
