Looking for podcast suggestions for looooong drive

[Anonymous]

Next week I’ll be driving 8-9 hours straight (and returning four days later!). I’m looking for some compelling, in-depth podcasts on honestly anything. I’m into politics, economics, new age stuff, esoterica, biographical/human interest things - pretty broad range of interests (but not into true crime). Would love your suggestions, thank you!

This Podcast Will Kill You! Or The Emily Show.

If you want fiction, Alice Isn’t Dead or Wolf 360.

I'm a simple lady, so these probably are things you already listen to, but I have similar interests and my favorites are

Hidden Brain
Freakonomics
This American Life

A combination of those three has gotten me through many 13 hour road trips

How I Built This

Stuff you missed in history class
The Economist
Macro Voices
Spooked

My favorites are all book recaps and movie recaps. Pick your genre or favorite series, there is a recap podcast.

Pods that aren't recaps:
Beyond the Breakers (shipwrecks)
Garden Plots with Skeletor
You're Wrong About

If you'd consider dabbling in true crime: In the Dark from APM reports. Specifically, season 2. The case went to the supreme court. It's really well reported and a very interesting and compelling story. I believe they won a Peabody award for it.

Also agree with Freakanomics, This American Life, and I'd like to add Code Switch, icymi, Normal Gossip, the Line, 9/12, Running from Cops (those last 3 are Dan Taberski - he is great). Have fun!

Stuff You Should Know

I downloaded a bunch of Bill Nye podcasts for a long drive with my 11 year old son and I enjoyed them so much, I ended up listening to a bunch more on the return solo drive.

There’s some incredible episodes in the Reply All archive

Band of Brothers, book on tape

Highly recommend. I listened to this from Florida to Maryland in the car.

The Dream - about MLMs, by Jane Marie, a TAL alum

Finding Fred - about Mr. Rogers

Dead Eyes - young actor was fired by Tom Hanks from bit part on Band of Brothers. Great exploration on themes of rejection and how we let it define us.

Believed - this is the story of how Larry Nassar got away with abusing the gymnasts.

I love You’re Wrong About, pre-Michael’s departure though. I find it less enjoyable after he left.

What have you already listened to and enjoyed? The original Slow Burn on Watergate and Bag Man on Spiro Agnew are old but incredibly good.
