7 Podcast To Listen To On Long Road Trips

Jonathan Grado

I'm heading back to Syracuse this week and there is a 10 to 12-hour road trip ahead of me. In times like these, I tend to look for solace in my favorite songs, audiobooks, and of course, podcasts. When looking through the thousands and thousands of podcasts online, it can be hard to determine the right one for you. Here are 10 podcasts I enjoy and/or have been recommended to me!

1. My Brother, My Brother, and Me with Justin, Travis, and Griffin McElroy

This podcast is one of my favorites and can always put a smile on my face. The McElroy brothers have created a self-proclaimed "advice show for the modern era" with comedy that is fast and witty. Their ridiculous banter is the kind that can only be created by siblings and reminds me of conversations I've had with my own sister. If you want to laugh at mindless comedy for an hour or two you should check out My Brother, My Brother, and Me. Here's a link to their page on Maximum Fun Network.

2. Lore by Aaron Mahnke

If you're like me, you are interested in the creepy and unknown stories from History. Lore is just that. The rough half-hour podcasts are easy to listen to and give you a nice case of the chills. Mahnke's calming voice and word choice paint beautiful stories that lift right out of history books and into your ears. It's one of my favorite podcasts of all time, I highly recommend checking it out. Here's a link to the episodes.

3. Oh No Ross and Carrie by Ross and Carrie

In this strange podcast, the titular Ross and Carrie travel around trying everything from joining different religions to looking for the paranormal and then report back. Their motto? "We show up so you don't have to". The show is both funny and informative, and with such a wide range of topics, you're bound to learn something new. Find episodes here.

4. Mike Boudet's Sword and Scale by Incongruity

Sword and Scale is a true-crime podcast that goes over some of the worst crimes. The podcast gives you a glimpse into the stories as they would have happened in real-time. With audio samplings and a fantastic narrator, the stories are really brought to life. Find episodes here.

5. The Flop House with Elliot Kalan, Dan McCoy, and Stuwart Wellington

This podcast consists of three guys who watch a movie that flopped at the box office, and then talk about the plots and why the movie did so terribly. It's funny, it's witty, it's relatable. What else could you ask for? Find episodes here.

6. Jordan, Jesse GO! with Jesse Thorne and Jordan Morris

Although I haven't listened to this podcast, 10 years of the show and multiple awards speak for itself. The comedy podcast has no consistency and is pretty much the dumbest show on the internet. It's on my list of future listens, and I think you should check it out too. Find episodes here.

7. The Adventure Zone (Amnesty and Balance) by The McElroy Family

This list wouldn't be complete without at least one other McElroy mention. This podcast involves the McElroy brothers and their father playing Dungeons and Dragons. They bring their story to life with interesting characters and voices, throwing in some of that McElroy family comedy that everyone loves. Note: unlike the previously mentioned podcasts, this one should be listened to in order. The other podcasts in this list can be listened to in any order. Find episodes here.

I would also recommend any other podcasts with any of the McElroys or any other of Aaron Mahnke's podcasts, but I figured my list would get too repetitive. Hopefully, my list helps you find something to keep your ears happy.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.
