I'm having eye surgery in a little over a month : (
My plan is to load my phone up with a ton of audio books and podcasts to listen to them during my recovery. I love a good mystery and fluff book but I'm open to anything. What do you recommend?

For podcasts, I like This American Life. The stories are so interesting. I also like the FiveThirtyEight podcasts but that's my nerdy side

I like comedy podcasts. Sawbones, One bad mother, Judge John Hodgman. I also really like The Mom Hour. Oh No! Ross and Carrie is another fun podcast. I prefer autobiographies for audiobooks, preferably written by the author. I like Tina Fey, Amy Pohler and Mindy Kaling's books. They were all good listens.

My favorite podcasts are Hardcore History, Witch, Please, and Harry Potter and the Sacred Text.

The Moth, Wait Wait and Revisionist History are some of my favorite podcasts. I loved listening to Ready Player One (kinda sci-fi) and Amy Schumer's new book was kinda funny as an audio book. Not my favorite, but I laughed.
@Mrs. Pickle: What? There is a Harry Potter podcast?

@tlcbaby: yes! Two I mentioned above are Harry Potter. Witch, Please is my favorite. I heard about it from Mrs. Cotton Candy.
ETA: I might love Harry Potter more than an adult should. I figure I'm not alone though.

@Mrs. Pickle: My son's obsession is sort of fueling my interest, I'll have to check these out!

I second @Mrs. Sunshine's reco of Judge John Hodgman. It's my favorite favorite. I also like political podcasts like Slate's Political Gabfest, Keepin' it 1600, and Trumpcast. And other good ones besides This American Life (the best!) are Slate's Mom and Dad Are Fighting, Mystery Show, Reply All, and StartUp.

In addition to the ones listed, Undisclosed, the Longest Shortest Time, and Nerdist are my go-tos.

It's very off-color, but the podcast "My Dad Wrote a Porno" has had me cracking up since I discovered it.
