Sometimes on Lemmy these seem like the only jobs that actually exist, but I'm sure there's a lot of people here with different and unusual lines of work.

I'm a linehaul driver, pic from my first day at this job. I pull a set of double-trailers back and forth between two company terminals overnight. Same route each time, home every day. Pretty chill and easy work, I just listen to audiobooks and podcasts all night as I try not to slap anyone with my back trailer. any recommendations for something new to listen to I'd love to hear it

Darknet Diaries. Jack Rhysider explains the world of hacking and digital espionage fluently in ways your Grandmother would understand. Though his best episodes are the ones with guest appearances.

Darknet Diaries is my favorite podcast, i even bought a shirt to support.

The episode on North Korea (#71) blew my mind.

I highly recommend Science Vs, 99% Invisible, and Cautionary Tales. Pretty good if you're into nerdy stuff. I also recommend Endless Thread if you're interested in stories about the internet. What audiobooks have you enjoyed recently?

If you like history, Dan Carlin does one called Hardcore History. Most of them are fairly long but he's a pretty dynamic speaker so it doesn't tend to drag on.

The Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O'Brien and narrated by Patrick Tull are my absolute favorite audiobooks
