Looking for road trip podcast suggestions!



Recommended Posts

Happy Sunday y'all!
I leave for my annual trip to Wyoming from Texas 12 days from now and I'm looking for some inspiration! The first day is my longest and for that day and kind of the trip back are really my weak points. Day 1 is 17 hours, I don't have much issue staying awake but I do get bored so give me all your story-type pod casts(I really liked strawberry Spring and Dark Woods--I'm SUPER new to podcasts so those are the two I stumbled onto). I also plan to get a free trial of audible (I'm cheap, sue me) for a couple of books I have wanted to read but have lacked the motivation.

For podcast genre suggestions I enjoy:
Vet med
True crime
Stories-fiction: mystery/thriller/suspense/medical mystery/horror/crime
Interesting tidbits of information

I appreciate any suggestions you guys can throw my way. I still plan to scour Amazon music's library but figured having a few options to kind of spring board off of will help!

Thank you!

You might like "This American Life". If you asked, I'm not sure I could explain what it's about, but based on your likes, I'm guessing you might enjoy it.

Among the podcasts I like:

Maintenance Phase (mostly about the world of "diet culture", expect some fun send-ups of fad diets and "wellness influencers")

Behind the Bastards (the stories of the worst people in history, both modern and ancient)

You Must Remember This (stories of Hollywood's first century, their Charles Manson series was especially interesting.)

You're Wrong About (debunking historical scandals)

I like this American life too. I also like stuff you should know and to tune in to open courses at Yale.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
