The Best Playlists, Podcasts, and Audiobooks for Family Car Rides
"We've all been down that road many times - but the good news is that, with a little planning, you can avoid a lot of vehicular discord. If what to listen to in the car is a major source of conflict, consider making an agreement that outlines who will be the car DJ when. Maybe you set a schedule or agree to take turns."
"If a pre-made mix isn't your thing, consider creating one as a family with input from everyone. Give each family member a certain number of choices, and then randomize them so you don't end up listening to Taylor Swift for 45 straight minutes. You can also give each person veto power if there's a song or two that they just can't stand. Giving everyone a say about what goes on the mix can go a long way toward creating a little harmony on your ride."
Families can reduce in-car conflict by establishing who controls the music through schedules or turns. Podcasts and audiobooks offer neutral listening options suitable for varied tastes. Pre-made Spotify playlists such as Family Road Trip, Clean Songs Everyone Knows, 100 Best Disney Songs, Clean Family Friendly Rap/Hip-Hop/R&B, and Singalong Musicals provide ready choices. Families can create a custom mega-mix by allowing each member a set number of song selections and randomizing order. Granting veto power for disliked songs prevents monopolization of time and fosters shared enjoyment and harmony during drives.
