What should I listen to while driving?

I get so bored when I have to drive long distances. I don’t like the radio at all. What can I listen to in the car to keep entertained?

Traveling long distances definitely gets boring, so it’s a good idea to listen to something while driving that will help you stay alert. Some listening options that might interest you more than the radio include:
  1. A curated playlist: Before you leave, create a playlist with all of your favorite songs. Alternatively, ask a friend or your partner to create a playlist for you!
  2. Your favorite podcast
    : It seems like there’s a podcast for everything these days. Whether your jam is true crime, gaming, comedy, movies, politics, or just stories, there’s a podcast out there for you.
  3. An audiobook: If you have a library card, check to see if your library partners with Libby, Overdrive, or a similar app that allows you to check out and download audiobooks on your phone. Then, you can read while you’re driving.
  4. Your music library: Rather than listening to a playlist, shuffle your entire music library. You might find some hidden gems that you’d forgotten about!
  5. Speeches: Feel like brushing up on your history? Cue up some famous speeches to keep you company on your drive.
  6. Language apps: If you want to make it the most productive road trip ever, try learning a new language while driving. Babbel and Duolingo are a couple of popular language-teaching apps.
If you’re driving a lot, you also want to make sure that you have a good insurance policy in place to protect you. With the
