5 Logistics-Based Podcasts To Listen To On The Road

5 Other Podcasts To Enjoy

Rabbit Hole

Easily bingeable, Rabbit Hole takes a look into how the internet affects our lives and our politics every day and in insidious ways, plus how it got to that point. Unparalleled in its research and production, The New York Times’ eight-part series is haunting at times, but the story it’s telling about how we interact with the internet is profound and hard to forget. Well worth your time and easy to get lost in.

Pop Culture

If you’re that person who’s always wondering “Whatever happened to that guy from the thing?” well, wonder no more because this podcast is way ahead of you! It gives updates on all of the obscure pop culture things you probably haven’t thought about in a long time. Anyone remember the Ice Bucket Challenge?

Sincerely X

As gripping as it is enlightening, Sincerely, X is a Luminary-exclusive TED podcast that plunges into the hidden stories that surround us. Each week, host Sarah Kay guides listeners through stories that are “too risky, painful, or controversial” to be shared openly, told by the anonymous people who lived them. From the woman who shares the details of her life in and after a cult to the ex-con who used the pain of his prison experience to lend a helping hand to other inmates.

Radiolab

Radiolab is almost as tough to describe as it is rewarding to listen to. Equal parts science, philosophy, politics, history, and humanity, the show is incredibly wide in scope and rich in heart, and one of the best science podcasts. If you are looking for a driving soundtrack that’s sure to spark endless thought and will have you lost in an endless array of worlds you didn’t even know existed, Radiolab is a must-listen.

A Very Fatal Murder

True Crime will, ironically, probably never die, but its recent spike in popularity on every medium from TV to podcasts may have you feeling a little disenchanted with the genre, however, this podcast offers a slightly different humorous take that may intrigue you. If you’re looking for an irresistible crime story without the forced realization that the world is a cruel, helpless place, well, then this one’s for you!

And as a treat, here’s an extra one for those overnight trunking…

The NoSleep Podcast

Another sure-fire cure for road boredom is the terror that comes from listening to scary stories on a desolate motorway in the middle of the night. The NoSleep Podcast is the perfect elixir of spookiness for anyone for whom horror stories are a guaranteed ticket to sleeplessness. While creepiness is a constant theme, subjects range from paranormal events to monsters to tales of stalkers and shadowy figures. The show is currently in its tenth season, so there’s plenty of content to get stuck in to.
