Summer is far from over! There are still many weekend getaways, road trips, and beach vacations to be had. If you grew up with a family similar to mine that believed road trips were “about the journey, not the destination” I’m sure you can relate to the fact that no matter how beautiful your surrounding, long drives can still be quite… boring. And while singing along to the Billboard Hot 100 can help get you through the long haul, sometimes you need a little more mental stimulation. Sure, you could pay for some audio books — but there are also a wealth of podcasts that are just as, if not more interesting than said books.
I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite, most binge-worthy podcasts and podcast episodes to help get you through any road trip. Just make sure to add downloading a few of these to your packing list before you take off on your next summer adventure!
