12 hours on a train- what podcasts and audiobooks do you recommend?

[Jupiterdawn]

Recommendations please for a long and boring return journey tomorrow and Monday TIA

Kermode and Mayo's Film Review Podcast also known as Wittertainment

The Maya Angelou series on R4.

AMAZING series and a fantastic woman.

Slow Burn- there are two series, one is all about Clinton's presidency and particularly what happened to Mónica Lewinsky, and the other is about Watergate. Both really interesting.

Also- my dad wrote a porno. So good.

The new radio 5 podcast about Waco is really good. It's called End of Days and looks at the stories of Brits who were at Waco. Absolutely fascinating.

My dad wrote a porno is funny not got past series 1 however- got bored. Just listened to Victorian secrets narrated by Stephen fry on audible, very good (free to subscribers) now listening to days which changed the world - very good and free.

Yes minister/yes prime minister from audible - it's 18 hours long ish(can't remember exactly but lasted me from home to Bristol, to Heathrow, to Vancouver, to whistler- about 18 hours!

I’d second Kermode and Mayo if you like films. Would also suggest Simon Mayo Confessions - very funny...

Or cabin pressure (listened to that on way back!)

Thanks everyone, so much, for these great ideas. I’m actually looking forward to the journey

I listen to something called guys we fuc*ed it's actually really good and yes can be a little blue but they have really interesting guests on.
I second the battery charging pack I brought quite a pricey one in the summer after dh nagged me I would need it for a long trip I was doing honestly I've used it every day since i love always having a charged phone

I really like All Killa No Filla (about serial killers)

If you like true crime podcasts..
'Teacher's Pet' or 'Missing Maura Murray'

By the Book - half reality show, half self-help podcast. It's funny.

Also Forever 35.

Another vote for Serial season 1 (and follow up with Undisclosed to go into much greater depth), and S-Town, which is brilliant

I got bored with My Dad Wrote... by the third book.

I also recommend the High Low!
