    When I was commuting (before Covid) podcast listening was the only saving grace. 2 hours each way gave me a lot of time to become indoctrinated in anti-capitalism and learn all about the Roman Empire.

    I love long trips by myself. I put on an audiobook and crank the heating right up (I don’t know why I like that).

    For years I had about 90 minutes a day of podcast commute time. I did about one audiobook a month and kept up with several podcasts. It was perfect. Now my commute is 10 minutes door to door and while it’s more convenient in a lot of ways I miss my pod sessions.

    Same. Long drives are a great way of catching up. And on even longer drives it’s usually audio books (Dungeon Crawler Carl nowadays).

    When I’m flying somewhere for work, I hate being on the same flight as a coworker, because I’ve been traveling this way for work for 15 years now, and ad soon as I pass the airport security I enter airplane mode: Bluetooth buds in, audio book on, and the world off and away.

    Oh yes, I got my driving license almost exactly two years ago at 35, and one of the first things I did when I got my car was to binge a load of podcasts.

    I still do this, and it is brilliant.
