Notes -
Does anyone here have recommendations for making long drives more tolerable? I've been on the road a lot lately, and by the time I get toy destination, I'm pretty wiped out.
How long are we talking? Strategy for a three hour drive is different than a six hour drive.
I like a big pleasant beverage, I'll stop at Wawa and get an extra large diet coke or Dr pepper. Zyns are pleasant and calorie free. Drinking also forces me to stop and piss, which adds the element of looking for a likely empty spot to tap a kidney.
Line up a variety of podcasts/music/audiobooks beforehand so when you get bored of one thing you just change to the next.
Three to five hours, mostly, with most of that being rural interstate.
Any recommendations on podcasts? I've never really looked into them at all. Tagging @Southkraut too in case he has any input as well.
I only listen to audiodrama fiction podcasts, some of my favorites:
The Magnus Archives — horror, monster of the week with an overarching plot format, the framing device are case reports read aloud
Malevolent — an original story in Lovecraft's world, the framing device is the protagonist talking with an entity that possessed parts of his body
SAYER — sci-fi, a sadistic AI in charge of a space station, the framing device are instructions from the titular AI SAYER to personnel
Edict Zero — FIS — sci-fi, cops, criminals, conspiracies, hackers, no framing device, just dialogue
