One of the major perks of joining a commercial trucking company is that you have complete control over your “office.” There’s no boss looking over your shoulder, telling you to stop playing audio files in your cubicle. So indulge yourself by checking out these entertaining podcasts the next time you hit the open road.
Sawbones: A Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine

The duo has great chemistry together, offering entertaining facts on the history of medicine and all of its weirdness. Listen to a few of their shows, and you’re likely to get hooked on them. Before you know it, you’ll be able to hold your own in conversations about everything from bezoars to Appalachian folk medicine.
