History of English podcast.

[Groomio]

Radio 5 live

[Huzzah]

At one time it used to be War of the World's, this used to get me a good way down into France.

Jools Holland Sunset over London always gets me in the holiday mood as do the B52s.

[Jasandjules]

Have a USB stick with about 800 songs the wife put on it of which I seem to dislike about 750. So I spend most of the journey clicking through until it finds a song I want

[John D.]

With the family it's Radio 6 or whatever other station if I don't like what's on. Few years ago we used to listen to CDs, but there's no player now.

On my own it's podcasts.

Monstercat Silk Showcase

Chicane Sun:Sets

Even the kids like them - missus, not so keen but she gets overruled and just doomscrolls to drown it out

I used to do a fair bit of driving each month in terms of time on the road. Only about 1,100 miles but split across 8 trips from Surrey to Gloucestershire and back. So a 5 hour round trip.

Audiobooks were the way to go, sometimes it'd be music but I found audiobooks were the kind of thing you could settle down to for the drive. I found various ones to be excellent, admittedly I sway more toward horror and sci-fi but The Exorcist and World War Z were superb.

One of a number of podcasts I listen to regularly, all based around Youtube videos I watch, notable ones are:

Chris Harris

Evo

[Its Just Adz]

Both those books are great, I listened recently.
I'd say Wilmans is more interesting of the 2.

We tend to listen to Radio 2 anytime, any place, anywhere - except for Jeremy Vine, Rylan and Elaine Page.

During those times, I occasionally listen to Apple Music, but lossless uses a lot of data and so I also have all the CDs and albums I ever owned on my phone which I play on random songs.

If I am driving, I do not really want to listen to anything that needs some serious thinking.

The Rest is History is fantastic, my go-to for a long multi day drive. Heading back home next week so I'm saving the Joan of Arc series for then.

Other than Spotify and occasionally trying to find a local radio station to get a flavour of where I am I like to carry a pack of old school CDs and grab one at random now and then. Sometimes it's nice to get away from the tyranny of choice that comes with endless playlists and sit through an album on it's own.
