10 of the Best Podcasts to Keep You Entertained on Your Next Road Trip

Yep, that’s right, 'Catfish' has a podcast.

The best part of road trips is often being in the car with friends, family, or even just yourself. But what do you do when the conversation starts to run dry or when listening to the same album on repeat just isn’t hitting the same anymore?

We’ve collated some of the best podcasts to accompany you for whatever journey you may be on. There are 20-minute episodes to get you to your parent's place for Christmas lunch, binge-worthy ones to accompany you on your long interstate drive to your Airbnb, and comedic ones suitable for any and every occasion to keep the whole car entertained.

From laugh-out-loud comedies and jaw-dropping educational podcasts to keep-you-up-at-night thrillers, there will never be a dull moment during your car ride.
