Planning your next road trip? Why not plan ahead to spend that time listening to a podcast? Here are my top four podcasts to pass the time on your next road trip:

1. "Up And Vanished"

This podcast is as eerie as it gets. Payne Lindsey, an Atlanta native, opens back up a 12-year-old cold case, which is now the largest case file in Georgia history, about a 30-year-old high school history teacher and former beauty pageant contestant who "up and vanished" one day to never be seen again. The eerie part of this case is that she is from a small, southern, tight-knit town, yet her body has never been found. Even in such a small town, no one seems to know what happened to Tara, or at least, no one wants to speak up.

With each podcast lasting between 25-60 minutes, and over twenty available episodes, this podcast is definitely one to put on your list.

2. "Missing Richard Simmons"

On February 15, 2014, the celebrated and influential fitness coach Richard Simmons disappeared. Out of nowhere, he stopped showing up to class, cut off his closest friends, and completely took himself out of the public eye. For someone who appeared to love showing off, this new Richard didn't fit his regular character.

This podcast follows on Richard's close friends search to make sure his long-time mentor and friend are in a good place. This podcast includes both light-hearted suspenseful moments as well as laugh-out-loud moments making it a perfect choice for your next road trip!

3. "Welcome to Night Vale"

Welcome to Night Vale is quite honestly a weird podcast. It is presented as a news show about the strange occurrences that happen in the town of Night Vale. You really have to start from the beginning of this series to be able to follow along, but you start, you will be so confused you won't want to stop till you slowly but surely get attached to it.

With about over a hundred episodes of about 20 minutes each, this podcast is positively weird, making it perfect for your next long road trip.

4. "Dear Hank & John"

This podcast is honestly super fun; especially if you are already a Vlogbrothers fan. If you don't know who John and Hank Green are, you will easy want to become best friends with them after listening to an episode or two.

John Green, the author of many famous books such as "The Fault in our Stars" and "Paper Towns", joins forces with his brother, Hank Green, to create one awesome podcast full of easy-going, laugh-out-loud comedy. In fact, even their sign off is enough to lift your spirits: DFTBA (Don't Forget to be Awesome)!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
