“This podcast from Overdrive Magazine and PRX’s Radiotopia is an eight-part series about long-haul trucking and the people who make it happen. Host, “Long Haul Paul” Marhoefer, opens the curtains for us to peer into the inner workings of what goes into getting everything we want in our stores and on our doorsteps. It’s not really a spoiler to say it isn’t magic. Personally, I was amazed by giant long trucks when I was a kid but really haven’t thought of them much since. I feel like the same goes for a lot of people who, like myself, take them for granted. This show is an honest educational look at a community hidden in plain sight with grade A storytelling. Marhoefer’s voice is gravelly and comforting. I really like how inclusive the short series podcast was. We hear from women, people of color, as well as people who aren’t truckers but that the industry depends on, like waitresses. Apple Podcasts has 4.7 out of 5 stars and 1,100 ratings. Episodes should be listened to in order and are about 43 minutes long. The music throughout the show is great and a lot of the episodes feature songs that are by Marhoefer himself. I would have never guessed I would enjoy a podcast about trucking and if you think the same, I insist you give it a try. Trucker culture is so cool! No trigger warnings for this one.

“This dude’s delivery is literally a snoozer. His breathy, whispered delivery is simply awful. Who exactly are you targeting with this podcast? It sure as he’ll isn’t other professional drivers.”

“I thought this was a great listen. I work in a sleep lab and have talked to a fair share of CDL drivers from bus drivers to long haulers. I think it’s interesting to hear the differences and see the differences in opinions on regulations. I’m looking forward to hearing more from the show.”

“Wow, this Podcast is an incredible invitation into a world I’ve always wanted to know more about. I could listen to Long Haul Paul read the phone book. I can’t wait for the next 7 episodes and a deeper look into the men and women of America’s highways. Thank you for this great show!”
