NFT: Good audio books for big northeast trip

Heading back to NY and Maine this weekend. The last big trip we took we listens to Serial - really enjoyed that. Comedians like Tina fey, chuck k, Amy poehler we've already listened to but enjoy as well

Anything similar you all can recommend?
If you enjoyed Serial

You may want to check out Undisclosed...which dives deeper into the case and information Serial may have just touched on....it's pretty interesting so far.
I've been listening to the dollop recently

its about an hour long podcast presented by two stand up comedians talking about a topic from American history. It's hilarious.

Wife and I also listen to The Temeraire series while traveling. It's revisionist historical fiction about the Napoleonic wars, but both sides have dragons. It's not intense literature but light hearted fun and passes the time.
The Martian

The Three Musketeers on a northern swing a year or two ago. It was good, but it went on forever. Make sure you have plenty of time
