npr everywhere ... but not on the mac

Re: NPR Everywhere - Partners

Why is Audible.com not listed on this NPR Partners page? They offer many NPR programs as well as those of other public media producers. It seems that with the exception of cell phone services, all services listed are only compatible with computers running the Windows OS.

Audible.com not only works with both Mac & Windows, but also with the iPod, which none of the other listed services do. The iPod is of course the majority leader in the digital audio player market, so I would think NPR would want to promote their availability through it. Furthermore, NPR could optionally choose to use an affiliate link to Audible and let site visitors support NPR and/or a member station when they sign up for a subscription.
