UD Podcasts for Your Summer Road Trip

Podcasts for Your Summer Road Trip

Have you missed your interruption-free time in the car these past few months? As our vehicles sat in our driveways and public transportation was halted due to the coronavirus, many of us lost our routines of listening to podcasts. In fact, podcast listenership dropped 15% in the U.S.—and that’s just in March.

While many of us are not yet returning to the office, we may gain back some of that cherished car time during our summer road trips—so, dust off that podcast library and breathe some fresh life into it. Below are a few podcasts from Blue Hen alumni who cover topics from writing to mindful parenting to finance. Happy listening!
