Road Trips
1/28/20261 hr 5 min
According to facts there are more roads in the world now than at any point in history: the A49, Route Sixty-Something, Thunder Road etc and so on. Surely, therefore, there is no better time than now to buckle up and listen to a podcast about road trips. Thanks to Josh of Bristol for the topic and remember the rubber don’t burn when the banter’s lukewarm.
With thanks to our editor Laura Grimshaw.

Benjamin Partridge· Host0:20
Or as it's called on phones, airplane mode, I think.
Mike Wozniak· Host0:23
Yes. Once you, once you are across the midway point of the Atlantic, yes.
Henry Paker· Host0:28

Mike Wozniak· Host0:34
[laughs] When you get that DPD alert that your delivery is due at 11:30 AM.
Henry Paker· Host0:40
That's it.
Benjamin Partridge· Host0:41
And the, the plane just explodes in the air.
Henry Paker· Host0:43
[laughing] The fools, the fools. Why?
Benjamin Partridge· Host0:47

Mike Wozniak· Host1:04
What do you mean? How does the petrol get there? If, if you need petrol to power a car in the first place, then by definition, how can there be petrol in a place where the- [laughs] ... if the car was to get there, the amount of petrol you'd have to carry, logically it's a bit...
