Locally stored podcasts work, but Spotify over the air can accidentally rack up some nasty data roaming charges that you don't realize until later. And there are significant stretches of the highway where cellphone data is spotty (pun not intended). Siris radio works everywhere you aren't driving next to something blocking the line of sight to the sky. It maintains the channel across significant distances so you're not hunting for "ok, what to listen to next?" (one time when driving to my grandparents house for Thanksgiving and changing the station as one faded I heard Alices Restaurant four times). The main thing with Siris for driving is that its got DJs and news and such. On my great road trip I had an iPod loaded up with songs and had that on shuffle for a few months... and while I had a few hundred hours of songs, they were all things I heard before. Part of listening to the radio, Spotify, or Siris is that the next song might be something different. --- https://4m3ric4.com https://4m3ric4.com - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33217395 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33217395
