I save some of my 1 hour plus pods for these long drives.  I pick 2-3 that add up to 3 1/2 to 4 hours and bundle them together.   When they've run I flip over to my driving music playlist until I get to a good roadside rest to refuel or recoffee or both.  Makes for a nice enforced rest interval.

I've a backlog of event recording from past meetings of The Federal Society.   Most of these clock in at close to 1:30 and many are kind of "Inside Baseball."  First up: Deficit Reduction and the Role of the Federal Government in Regulating Business.  Mainly Richard Epstein vs Heather Slavkin.  NOT a fair fight.

Law School Accreditation.  Considering my current occupation this one was GREAT.  Some good points made.  There's a movement to move Law School to a two year program with a year of clinical/externship/apprenticeship.  

In between those two hefty meals I enjoyed episode 100 from Ricochet. I've been listening since #1 and you should go back, get them all, and catch up.  They release one every week or so.  Sadly I'm a month behind so this episode dealt larely with the New Hampshire primary but included a 15 minute discussion of "Young Frankenstein".  Planted some interesting seeds that will hopefully bear fruit next October when I post my YF review.  Overview: James Lileks, Rob Long, Peter Robinson, and guests discussing the issues of the week.  Lileks is one of my favorite observers ofcontemporary culture.  Rob Long is best known for "Cheers".  And Peter Robinson (the resident squish) was a speechwriter for President Reagan.  If you clck and enjoy more than half of the stuff I link to around here, Ricochet needs to become part of your daily reading.

A few random driving tunes, a Burger King and Sunoco stop, and we're on the road for the final leg.
