OUR WRITERS’ FAVORITE PODCASTS FOR YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE

Break up the drive-time monotony with these entertaining alternatives to local FM

If you’ve ever spent a lot of time sitting in traffic, you know that local radio can get pretty monotonous.

How many times can you listen to “Meant to Be” before you find yourself wanting to scream, “Let it go! It is NOT meant to be!”

And talk radio? That can be even worse!

So, what do you do when you’re stuck in the car on that tedious drive to and from work? What’s the alternative to mind-numbing bubblegum pop or talk-radio arguments?

Podcasts! That’s what!

We at TWFH have some “go-to” podcasts that we highly recommend.

Here is a list of our personal favorites for your listening pleasure:
