Even your favorite playlist of tunes for the road can get old after a while, and listening to CB chatter can sometimes be a bit depressing.

That’s why it makes sense to tune in to some of the many podcasts — audio content created to be streamed when you want it — that are being produced. It seems there is a podcast, or maybe several, for every interest no matter how narrowly defined.

Fortunately, there are many entertaining podcasts being produced by and for women. Give a listen to:
