Road trip season is upon us what are y'all listening too?

I'm looking more for the story podcasts (like Serial) but open to the Freakonomics and 99% Invisible type series too.

Whatcha got?
If you liked Serial

then S Town is a must (same studio I believe). Crimetown is also excellent. For a short, anthology series Criminal is fantastic.
Similar from those genre

With Dax Shepard. He puts out questions and people have call in with their best stories. Stuff like your most embarrassing fart or maybe a time you saved someone’s life. It’s pretty damn funny. My wife and I use it for road trips.

Will have to check out the latter. There are several authors who have presented interesting cases that we are in the last stage of the American/Western empire.

It’s great. If you look it up on YouTube they do a decent video with them too.

Just listened to the recent episode on Carthage. Great work by Cooper there on that one.

Awesome horror story. Just saw them live at The Egg. Great writing. 1910s lovecraft type horror based on the railroad and drilling.
