What do you like to listen to? Maybe it’s your commute to work? Or taking the pets you’re sitting for out on a walk? Or perhaps you’ve got a three hour layover…what do you like to listen to and why?
In my 20’s I found that while travelling I much preferred listening to various playlists to anything else. However, these days firmly in my 30’s I love a good audiobook ( could go on all day about my favourites of 2022), listening to my favourite travel writer Rick Steves (it’s a personal dream to meet him some day) or a podcast.
@Kelly wherever we are in the world, (and as long as it works there!), we listen online to San Francisco’s 70’s Hits… we are totally addicted to this radio station, in fact when we are next there we might pop in and say hello and put names to faces
With regards to your actual question though, I prefer playlists, I have several for road trips and a great one I created especially for PCH 1 road trips! … my favourite
All French, all the time. I thought I was getting better at the language, but then I started trying to use it! Back to the drawing board…
I love Le Journal en Français Facile (News in Easy French), which is an RFI program for learning French and offers language exercises. News in Slow French is also great. It’s available in other languages as well (search for News in Slow [language]) and is best accessed through linguistica360.com.
I just saw a fascinating movie called, Turn Every Page, about the relationship between the writer, Bob Caro and his editor, Bob Gottlieb. I am going to see about getting his book, The Power Broker, and/or his first book on LBJ as an audio book to listen to when I’m driving to sits.
I’ve been a long time online listener to KEXP Seattle. While on a petsit last year I visited the studio near the Space Needle where they have a coffee shop. Loved it!
I listen to a Playlist from the 70’s sometimes and a few preferred artists. I.e. Pink, Adele, Ed Sheeran and rock from the 70’s. At night i turn on white noise usually ocean sounds or rivers.
We’re a big fan of 70’s in our household too, we think it’s the decade that made the best music. We can never get enough no matter how many times we listen to the classics.
