I was just about to recommend downloading podcasts and audiobooks... I download stuff from itunes, all of which is free, and it gives me hours of entertainment. I listen in the car via one of those ipod/tape converters and I listen directly from the ipod when I take the bus...
Right now I'm listening to an audiobook by Mercedes Lackey and some other people - action/adventure/sci-fi romp about superheroes which manages to blend some really funny moments with some more serious stuff... free download and very professionally done. I also like the various NPR stuff - Prairie Home Companion, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, This American Life... again, all free from ITunes store. And I listen to this "coffee break Spanish" which may or may not actually be teaching me Spanish but it's fun to be taught Spanish lessons by someone with a thick Scottish accent -
So yeah, if you see ME driving around down laughing, that's why...
