At this point, I almost can’t stand to be in the car without a podcast queued up.
If you’ll be in the car (or a bus, or a train, or a plane) heading out of town this Labor Day weekend, here are a few podcast episodes that might help make the miles whiz by more pleasantly.
Do you love to laugh? Are you a fan of comedian Jim Gaffigan? I like him even more after listening to this conversation he had with Andy Richter on The Three Questions with Andy Richter: Jim Gaffigan.
Like Cribs, but with science! Six strangers volunteer to spend 12 months together in a bubble in The Habitat (6-episode series).
This investigation into pain on Invisibilia is fascinating and even made me question how my perception of pain was impacting my experience of a knee injury. The Fifth Vital Sign
Another Addams Family movie is coming out this October – Stuff You Missed in History Class did a two-part series on Charles Addams, who turns out to have been a very interesting fellow. Charles Addams, Part I; Charles Addams, Part 2.
If you like Conan O’Brien and Lin-Manuel Miranda, then you’ll love their conversation on Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, #31.
I think Jonathan Goldstein is one of the funniest people in podcasting. Binge all of the episodes of the Heavyweight podcast. Or just start with Episode #19: Joey which is funny and poignant and sweet.
You can listen to all of these podcast episodes through the links I’ve included in the post, but if you want to be able to download them for listening offline (which I prefer) you can use a free podcast playing app. I use the Overcast podcast player. If you’re new to podcasts, you can learn how to listen to them here.
Happy trails!
