    I've really started getting into podcasts recently. Seems like there are podcasts for every topic imaginable. I've been listening to hiking podcasts for a while now. Wonder if there are any good trucking podcast out there.

    Almost anything you want to hear on talk radio is also a podcast and free, plus it's on your schedule. TuneIn and I_HeartRadio app are good for streaming live news. I can listen to Tucker Carlson on FoxNews Radio 1 hour after it is live on TV. BBC, CBC, and CNN are also free on TuneIn or I_Heart. College football is usually available without a premium supscription if you save the local sports talk radio station as a favorite instead of searching for the game by the teams that are involved. SEC footbal in the South is not a religion, it's much more serious than than.

    Paperwork, trip planning, and cleaning (in that order).

    Now doesn't that sound entertaining?

    The only one I was ever interested in was Kevin Rutherford, when he talked about the economics or business of trucking. He is available on Soundcloud for free. Freightwaves has several trucking podcasts. I like to use podcasts to escape from thinking about trucking, but I'm a company driver.

    If you have a comedian you like, there is a 90% chance they have a free podcast.

    That's a good point. I listen to hiking podcasts while working inside to make me feel like I'm on the trail. Thanks for the info.

    It feels good to get all three done though. Last truck I had I installed an air hose with the little trigger handle and could blow all the dirt out. It was a game changer.
