Load up on entertaining and interesting podcast episodes for a fun way to learn while traveling, commuting or working around the house. Be entertained by comedy podcasts delving into interesting history and current events, or by politically driven podcasts breaking down facts in a fun, digestible way.

 

Learn something new with Cracked. The sometimes political, historical, nerdy and always obscure podcast dives into current events, unique history and fun facts you may not know. Listen as a mix of experts, writers and comedians with a variety of opinions discuss interesting stories on episodes ranging from “Ridiculous Myths and Insane Facts About U.S. Presidents” to “Why Everyone is Wrong.”

 

With more than 1,000 episodes recorded, the Stuff You Should Know podcast is a fun, educational story covering nearly all genres of interest. Both hosts also write for the How Stuff Works website, so take a quick peek at the stories and interesting information online before downloading.

 

Radiolab is one for the curious. Find yourself understanding more about science, the human body, global communications and dark stories. Like an investigatory piece about our day-to-day lives, Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich discuss unique topics in an interesting way. Think of it as future party fodder.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
