Why does the app need microphone access? I missed the blurb when you first open the app and can't seem to figure out how to replay it now.

Certain ads will allow you to interact with them via your microphone for hands free driving or whatever. It's new and you'll probably start seeing it more in other apps but this is the first time I've seen it in an app.

The app does not need microphone access. You know it, I know it, NPR knows it.

It has xapp ad integration, which requires microphone access.
