Question for podcast fans: How do your listening habits change when you travel? I'm usually not doing much housework while on vacation, so that's a big chunk of my podcast time gone, and I'm also less likely to be alone in a car. (Drivers stuck in traffic are my job security).
Last week, I was in New York and found a little time to listen to shows on the subway, but I was too busy to collect my picks here, like I usually do. So, here is a super-sized playlist of listening recommendations for the weeks of May 12 and 19:
