Best Podcasts for Road Trips

I have recently been getting into podcasts and even listening to them instead of music sometimes in the car. The best thing about podcasts is that there is one for everyone; you just have to find the best ones for you.

Two of my favorite podcasts lately have been Chicks in the Office and Out & About; both are from Barstool Sports. Chicks in the Office is my go-to gossip pod. The hosts, Fran and Ria, talk about everything and anything going on in pop culture. Their favorite topics are anything Bravo, Bachelor franchise and celebrity break-ups. Not only do they talk gossip, but they have special segments as well. My favorite is Beat Ria & Fran. Each Monday they have fans join them for a round of trivia that covers topics like movies, music, books and significant pop culture moments. I’ve always wanted to play, but I’m nervous I’ll get on and not know anything! Out & About is one of the funniest podcasts I’ve ever hear; it’s not for the lighthearted, though. The hosts, Pat and Joey, say anything they want and have me laughing from start to finish. I am seeing them live in November, and I couldn’t be more excited.

For sports fans, NFL all-star brothers Jason and Travis Kelce started a new podcast, New Heights, during last year’s season. Jason plays Center for the Philadelphia Eagles, and Travis plays tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. With them being on different teams, they don’t always get to see each other throughout the season, so they created the podcast so they could still catch up and spend some quality time virtually. As an Eagles fan I was super-excited to listen to this podcast. They talk about everything that happened throughout the week with all the teams in the NFL, especially their respective teams. They also talk about non-sports topics as well and sometimes even have special guests from the industry.

If you are all caught up on celebrity gossip but still want to hear the tea, Normal Gossip shares hilarious, strange and juicy gossip about normal people you have never met and most likely will never meet.

These are just a few of my favorite podcasts that I keep up with, but trust me, there are plenty of others out there!

Wellness Comes Naturally in Greenville, South Carolina

Strolling through downtown Greenville, South Carolina, it’s easy to see why the city ranks high among the best places to live in the United States: Shops, restaurants and coffee bars line the streets; there are also performance venues, hotels and outdoor plazas. But what really sets this upstate city of just more than 78,000 residents apart are the easily accessible parks and walking trails encouraging both residents and visitors to explore the city by foot or cycle (both handcycles and adaptive bikes are available to rent). Even better, as Greenville continues to grow, city planners and major employers work together to expand these opportunities. When Greenville’s Swamp Rabbit Trail, for instance, opened in 2009, the paved, multiuse pathway ran about 9 miles from the heart of Greenville to the town of Traveler’s Rest.

Grand Hotel Des Bains Kempinski St. Moritz Review

Switzerland’s most storied ski town (the one, in fact, credited with pioneering the very concept of Alpine tourism), St. Moritz legendarily attracts the rich, the famous, celebutantes and the wannabes. Yet, there’s something compellingly earthy about the place, a town on a lake rich with natural environs, where winter sports and summer activities draw athletes and mountain lovers aplenty. As at the mountain restaurants (where some arrive by chairlift rather than muscle movement, and all types of diners and imbibers convene), Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski St. Moritz straddles the old and new, the lavish and the understated. The hotel, one of St. Moritz’s oldest, opened as a spa haven in 1864, set atop a healing mineral spring.
