If there is one thing many of us look forward to, it is the next time we can travel in comfort.

There’s nothing like something fun and exciting like a great podcast.

Podcasts are great travel companions for a number of reasons. Suitable for road trips and flights, they don’t require good eyesight or a stable connection if you download them in advance. Here are 5 great podcasts to take with you:

The bodybuilders

Hosted by Matt Rogers and SNL’s MVP Bowen Yang, Las Culturistas is a hilarious podcast about two funny people talking about culture and why we care about it.

Fiction podcasts are going through a big moment right now, like someone being read to you, but the person reading aloud has perfect diction and you also get an elaborate audio production.

From there it gets even more complicated.

Haunted places

If you are a creepy things lover, like a large percentage of podcast listeners, then you are going to love Haunted Places. This podcast publishes a new episode every week that discusses a new haunted place and its entire history.

Root of evil
