Hey la, hey la, commutes are back(ish)! While the gradual re-opening of the world means more time on the roads and tubes, it also means those of us clamoring for designated podcast-listening and reading time are finally back in the game. Through the end of the month, Amazon Prime members can get 3 free months of Audible Premium Plus, the online retailer’s audio entertainment platform featuring thousands of audiobooks, podcasts and more. It also includes one free bestseller or new release of your choice every month, in addition to complete access to Audible’s expansive library. Once the trial ends, it’s $14.95/month (compared to the regular Audible Plus membership at $7.95/month). Don’t have a Prime membership yet but considering it? Check out this guide to see if Amazon Prime is worth it for you. What reviewers say about Audible Premium Plus: The Premium Plus version of the Audible service is excellent for folks who are going to use it frequently to listen to audiobooks or podcasts, according to Wirecutter’s deal editor Nathan Burrow. “The primary difference between Premium Plus and Premium is the inclusion of a book a month of new releases and best sellers,” he tells MarketWatch Picks. “If you’re interested in these hot summer beach reads that will be on people’s radar this summer, then this trial is a great way to pursue it, see if it’s right for you and see if you want to continue.” Also, Burrow notes as far as subscriptions go, Audible is good at reminding you the triall is about to be over — they send a dedicated reminder email when your three months is almost up. Learn more: Amazon Prime members can get 3 free months of Audible Premium Plus through July 31. Another great feature of the Premium Plus offering: You can bank the monthly bestseller or new release credits you don’t use. “The credits you earn are not ‘use or lose’,” writes product and tech review site DyerNews.com. “Instead, unused credits will roll over to the next month. That way if there’s a month where you forget to use your credit or just can’t find an appealing title, you can hold onto it for the future.” For its part, Wirecutter includes Audible Premium Plus on a number of its gift guides. “We think it’s a great move if you’re in need of a last minute gift,” Burrow says. “This is a thing that you can get in a really timely way and still make somebody’s day when their birthday rolls around.” Learn more: Amazon Prime members can get 3 free months of Audible Premium Plus through July 31. Some other things to consider: If you’re not a huge bookworm and/or you already listen to podcasts on another streaming platform, you may not get your money’s worth once the trial is through. “Ultimately with all these trials, we recommend ensuring that you’ve done an audit of your subscription services and perhaps decide from there whether or not you want to continue,” Burrow says. About this column: Since you’re here, let me introduce myself: I’m Maddy Perkins, deputy commerce editor for MarketWatch Picks. I’m a recent convert to the audiobook format and took advantage of this deal myself! I’m also a big online shopper who loves a good deal — particularly when it comes to cool kitchen gadgets, electronics, fashion and beauty products. I’ll be here a few times a week to share the best deals I can find online with you. Have anything you’d like me to hunt down? Write me at [email protected]. Cheers!

3 ways golf fans can stream the 2022 Masters (psst: we found some free trial offers)

The best of the best in golf are set to compete in a week, and it is must-see television for golf fans. Here are all of the ways you can tune in if you cut the cord.

There are very few sporting events that compare to Masters Tournament week. Some of the best golfers in the world will congregate in Augusta, Georgia for the 86th edition of the tournament on April 7-10. All eyes will be on whether Tiger Woods will make his return to action after he badly injured his right leg in a car wreck last year. His last appearance in a PGA Tour event was the 2020 Masters but he reportedly played a full 18 holes at Augusta this week. While Woods’ potential appearance at the Masters will dominate headlines, the intrigue with the rest of the group remains high. Dustin Johnson is looking to repeat his dominant performance at Augusta last year where he won by five strokes (though he has been less consistent this year). Jon Rahm has the best betting odds of winning the tournament, while Jordan Spieth will try to keep his momentum going after winning the Texas Open last week. Here are all of the ways you can tune in if you cut the cord. Budget option for sports fans: ESPN+ for $6.99 per month $6.99 per month, $69.99 for the year (no free trial); cancel anytime If you are trying to watch the Masters this weekend without any long-term commitment, ESPN+ is the package for you. For less than $10 a month, you can stream the Masters on your phone, tablet or TV via the ESPN app. Not only does ESPN+ let you tune in live to all the action in Augusta, it puts all of the past events it broadcast into its on demand library. If you are watching the kids or bogged down with work, you can go back and watch any rounds you might have missed in its “past events” section when you get downtime. The best part of ESPN+’s vast library is that it has one-hour summaries of every Masters from the last 60 years. You can watch each past winner go through their four-day odyssey trying to conquer one of the hardest greens the country has to offer. From watching Jack Nicklaus dominate in the 1960s to witnessing Woods at his peak, most of the iconic past performances at the Masters are available to you on ESPN+.

Paramount+, now with one-week free trial $9.99 per month (premium plan), $99.99 per year (one week free trial); cancel anytime Paramount+’s premium plan gives you access to CBS’ live programming — meaning you can tune into the Masters throughout the entire event. The interface is comparable to YouTube TV and Netflix and is easy to navigate. While its overall programming isn’t sports heavy, the Paramount+ library also offers most of its parent company’s shows (NCIS, Star Trek and Survivor to name a few). The free trial allows you to experiment for one week leading up to the Masters to see if it is the right fit. This might be the package for you if you enjoy NFL and the UEFA Champions League, as both leagues are available to stream on Paramount+ .

FuboTV, now with one-week free trial $69.99 per month for Pro Plan (one week free trial); cancel anytime For an event like the Masters, FuboTV is another option for you if you want access to ESPN and CBS. On the Pro Plan, 10 people can watch on your account at once, which makes the up to 1,000 hours of DVR space useful. The package includes NBC, CBS, ABC, NFL Network, ESPN, ESPN 2 and more. If you don’t want any extra features (like ESPN+ provides) and just want to watch the Masters from home, using FuboTV’s free trial might be the best option for you heading into next weekend. It is easy to use and essentially is a more advanced version of cable.

Spring is coming — and some of you may finally want to make good on those promises to start a fitness routine, even if this season has plenty of April showers. Thanks to fitness apps, we can access countless thousands of at-home workouts right from our smart devices. Here are seven apps to check out that can help you get motivated, energized and fit.Free Johnson & Johnson Official 7 Minute Workout® App This popular — and free — app was designed by the Director of Exercise Physiology at the Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute.
