In December this year I'll be rowing across The Atlantic with three school friends. About 3,000 miles and 50 days at sea unassisted.
I need loads(!) of music and podcasts to take with me, what's the cheapest/best way to do it?
I've got loads of pictures and info from the last 18 months planning if anyone is interested I'll put up another post with more info.
Edit: 'most viral' Awesome! Is that front page, I've only ever lurked on here so this is all new?
Thanks to everyone who has replied and shown any interest, I've just woken up and off to work now so I'll try and respond to everyone tonight. I'll do a full post about how we've got to this point too - it'll be pic and detail heavy.
Edit 2: here's my new in depth post https://imgur.com/gallery/QfbUU

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR HUGE CHALLENGE! Just promise me, a SAR officer, that you will carry at LEAST 2 406MHZ EPRIBs and a SAR-T. Just in case.
classicmonty
We have 1 plb each + 1 in our grab bag (5 in total) and 1 epirb on board. 2 sat phones, yellow brick tracking. Gps + handhelds and vhf

I say definitely make another post with all the info and preparations, this is actually pretty cool!

How does the customs situation work for that? Presumably you can't just pull up your boat wherever you please?
classicmonty
I believe when we land our boat is kept in quarantine and we're allowed off, the next day we have to go through it and clear it all out
IAmPurpleDinosaur
This is a question that needs a serious answer @OP! I'm curious too.
xbolt
Worked before. Just pull up and declare you own this land now!

Take audiobooks. Im a cycle courier and listen to them. The entire Pratchett Discworld series or The Dresden Files should last a mile or 5.

Jim Butcher <3
MrsHarryDresden
You have excellent taste in authors
ArtOzz
If you like them, try Patrick Rothfuss. Kingkiller Chronicle. Wonderful stuff.
MrsHarryDresden
I've read those too. Have you read Joe Abercrombie?
ArtOzz
Nope, but I will soon. Have you read Kevin Hearne? If so, do read Iron Druid, but do not read A Plague of Giants. The man went mad.
MrsHarryDresden
I've read the first Iron Druid book-the rest are on my list. Have you read Christopher Moore? A Dirty Job is amazing.
fulminatrix
Lots of tedious math says Discworld is about 16 days long and Dresden about 9. He could listen 12 hours a day and just barely finish them.

Africa by toto and down under by men at work after that there's no point listening to anything else as they are the pinnacle of music

I've got a quarter share in an ocean rowing boat and some debt. I'll leave the family to fight it out

I'm so fuckin scared of open waters these posts give me mini panic attacks. Good for anyone who does this but omgomgomgomgomgomg

i second this. this 'adventure' is a huge HELLLLLL NOOOO for me.
KevinBMW
Just sing "row, row, row your boat" and "99 bottles of beer in the wall" a bunch of times. Then It's free.
beerlady
Easy street
classicmonty
Is this hell? This sounds like hell
SeventhElf
Or sing the programmer version. 99 problems of code in the program, 99 problems of code! Take one down, patch it around; 121 problems to go!

Well you did it now. That’ll be the death of this poor soul with those songs stuck in their head for months of solitude. Good luck @op

Well if free is the problem, I don't think Poseidon is a signatory to the Berne Convention on copyright...

Just check about any of @ASentientToaster posts, he has made a large variety of lists about different music genres. A little of everything.
ASentientToaster
Hey thanks for the shout out.
Pandamoniyum
keep those lists coming, they're great.
ASentientToaster
Thanks honestly finding the music is the easy part, the hard part is finding decent thumbnails.
ASentientToaster
If anyone has any suggestions I would be grateful.
