Four Podcasts To Make Your Next Trip A Little More Fun

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)!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
