When it comes to finding the best podcasts to listen to on a road trip, there's no better person to trust than The Road Trip Expert, right? The Road Trip Expert recommends listening to a variety of genres to keep your road trip interesting. For example, they recommend tuning in to "Culture Kings," a comedic podcast that covers everything pop culture. For comedy, they also recommend "If I Were You," a podcast whose hosts offer funny, unqualified advice to weekly submitters.
If you need a break from comedy, you can also try something factual. According to The Manual, the historical podcast "The Memory Palace" takes listeners through ancient civilizations like the Aztec Empire all while keeping the narration fresh and entertaining. It's part history and part entertainment, and it sounds like a great time. The Manual also recommends "My Brother, My Brother and Me," a podcast that offers "childlike euphoria." This podcast is hosted by three brothers who "cull questions from the existential dumpster fire that is Yahoo Answers, mix in some listener questions submitted via email, and spend the next 50 or so minutes turning it all into a sweet brew of totally unactionable advice."
Where "My Brother, My Brother and Me" leans back into comedy, "The NoSleep Podcast" is a horror podcast that tells scary stories in a way that makes them gripping and exciting, not just scary. This option would be especially good to listen to as a family, as each member will definitely have their own reactions to it.
