Free Audio Content for Long Drives?

goatbar asks: "We are going to be driving across the country at the end of the week to a new job and wondered if there are good sources for free books/stories on tape that we could put on our iPod to make the long hours of freeway driving go much faster. What are your favorite stories for the road and where are good places to pickup content? Old radio shows, mysteries, etc are all good!"

Re:Listen to the radio...

If you're travelling through an unfamiliar region, either in your own country or another, why not listen to the radio and get a feel for the local culture? You might find it more rewarding than listening to Smarmy Nerd Podcast in a state of total obliviousness.

In fact, you might even hear about an interesting place or event, and take the opportunity to *gasp* interact with people who aren't just like you.

Re:Grab some podcasts

I would agree, to a point. I got into podcasting through TWIT, which is done by people with TV and radio expirence. However, alot of podcasters do not have this expirence, and while their efforts are appreciated, amount to unlistenable dreck. I recently bought a sirius receiver, so i cut back the amount of average quality podcasts i listen to. Now, its just TWIT, and thats merely because I like to hear some of my favorite former techtv personalities talk about current subjects (except dvorak. Cant stand the episodes that they bring that prick on)
