I like to keep up with industry trends, and I enjoy GlossAngeles for a long trip or just to the grocery store. Kirbie and Sara have created a lighthearted and friendly environment where they bring on industry experts to discuss beauty and its evolvement. They provide interesting perspectives and product recommendations, which always keeps listeners coming back for more.
There are many wonderful podcasts out there so it truly is "to each his/her own". That said I often like to keep the topic contextually relevant so when traveling why not learn about those fascinating, unique, and off-the-beaten-path hidden gems sprinkled across the world. We all know and are in awe of the Grand Canyon, Eiffel Tower, or Aurora Borealis, but did you know about a former Norwegian-Chilean whaling station in Antarctica called Deception Island that is now a home for scientific stations and hot springs for tourists? The podcast aptly and proudly lives up to its name and is a bullseye of a choice while going on a road trip. You never know as one of the obscurities (get it?) mentioned, might just be on the way to your destination. Enjoy!
My absolute favorite podcast to listen to on the road is TED Talks Daily. Every episode is something absolutely new, fresh and revealing. Not only does it make the journey more enjoyable, but it significantly broadens your perspective and gives you a lot to think about. The topics that are dropped there are often things that I wouldn't have thought of on my own. Definitely worth checking out. Plus, it's available on Spotify, YouTube, and other popular platforms.
Road trips put me in a meditative mood. I feel relaxed and happy, thinking about life filled with endless opportunities. Going on a road trip is a perfect moment for me to focus on what I want. I love listening to the Classy Career Girl podcast hosted by Anna Runyan then. It encourages me to dream big, gives precious career advice, and inspires to find fulfillment. I recommend it to anyone. Wherever you are in your career, you can find something interesting in this podcast, I believe.

If you want a long trip to go by fast, take a listen to one of Dan Carlin’s podcast episodes of “Hardcore History.” He has a six-parter about Japan during World War II that is a riveting listen.

Serial is often referred to as "The Godfather of Podcasts" and for good reason. It is maybe the best produced and written podcast of all time even as it reaches over 7 years since the first season debuted. Serial covers the disappearance and murder of a teenage Baltimore student and the interview of her boyfriend in jail who has been convicted of the crime. While it seems straightforward at first, there are many aspects at play that will leave the listener with many different thoughts and ideas about what really happened.

One of my favorite podcasts to listen to when going on a road trip is the Joe Rogan Experience. I love his long-form interviews and the variety of guests that he has on the show. I find that it's a great way to learn about new things and to stay entertained during long drives.
How I Built This with Guy Raz is my favorite podcast for business owners. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to become an entrepreneur or anyone else wanting to learn more about growing a business. It’s great for long road trips to keep your mind engaged and for days you need a dose of inspiration too! Guy digs into the stories of some of the biggest companies and how they came to be such big successes. The interviews he conducts are with some of the most successful entrepreneurs and cover everything from mistakes, self-doubt, late nights, sacrifices, and triumphs. You’ll love being able to absorb nuggets of information that you can then take and apply to your own business to hopefully be more successful! The most powerful reminder is that even the most successful entrepreneurs are human and had to endure a lot of struggles to get to where they are today.
