It's been reported on the Today Programme that the Economist will be
available in full in audio. (NO, not artificial audio, but real
voices!)
A Guardian article on this is at:

A snip of the beginning of the article follows.

Economist launches audio magazine

The Economist is launching an online audio version of every issue of
the magazine, to meet the needs of subscribers with no time to read.
The weekly said it was the first leading international publication to
offer a full audio edition. From this week listeners will be able to
scroll through the Economist and download audio versions of articles
by section or in its entirety.
The magazine, which has a worldwide print circulation of 1,197,712,
said the audio service would be free to subscribers. Non-subscribers
can buy each issue for £4.
Cheers,
From Ray
