You know the mood where you just feel like playing that one song on repeat, or refuse to watch or read something unless you replicate something with that EXACT condition?
That's part of the reason I wasn't so keen on audiodramas in the beginning, since my only exposure to audio as a storytelling medium was radio plays, something I loved listening to.....only while travelling in a car. (Since that's the only place you can listen to radio which matched the vibe perfectly, I don't know.
It was slow, but last year, on the way to a relative's house for the holidays, we'd reached a stretch of road where the frequency from either place wasn't available, I believe you call those blind spots? In any case, nothing but static.
I'd just about had it by then. My sister loves podcasts, and even though I lost interest, Wolf 348 was my first podcast. (I know that's wrong, but I don't remember the exact number, as it was almost a year ago that I'd stopped, plus I didn't like it much.) She'd found out about this podcast recently, and wanted to check it out.
We'd both figured that the stereo was the best place to test it out, and after a bit of fiddling around with the Bluetooth, we'd managed to connect the podcast. It wasn't a very long trip, all things considered, but the duration was made somewhat simpler. It's like when you find the perfect song, after a fair amount of searching. (Okay, I didn't search as much as my sister, of course, but still, second time's the charm, apparently.)
The humour was top-notch and the story.....don't get me started. In any case, I know what I'm plugging into my stereo from now on. The only thing missing is a cup of cocoa, but hey, you can't win 'em all right?
I've been following the feed for a short while now, and every alternate Friday, I've almost made it a ritual to connect in the Bluetooth(something I'd normally never do) and listen to the latest episode. As you might've guessed, this is one of three podcasts I listen to rather religiously, so thanks for releasing this perfect bit of content, this small slice of heaven-as-an-audio-drama.

Listening to audiobooks and podcasts on a long car ride is just the absolute best. My parents used to put on an audiobook for a long drive when we went on vacation, and it worked in keeping me still every single time! Also, you can have cocoa in a car! You can use one of those fancy travel mugs, like you're a client on the way to the interview?
In any case, thank you so much for sharing! We are happy you came around to fiction podcasts, eheheh!
