Going on a cumulative 8 hour road trip with one other person who isn't too engineering/math focused (I am very STEM), but our intersection of interests includes travel, history, trivia, linguistics, literature, psychology, child development, food, economics.
If you recommend jordan peterson, joe rogan, or lex fridman you are instantly disqualified for payout. Spamming the name of a million podcasts is also not useful so i retain the right to dq someone for obvious spam.
In general, going for a lighthearted and fun vibe where we feel like we are learning things. Feel free to also recommend individual episodes of the podcast that are particularly good to help persuade.
The podcasts in this image are ones that will not pay out (as I already know about them). But also may serve as an indicator for what we might like.

If we don't end up listening to 10 recommended podcasts on the trip, the remainder will pay out based on what I personally listen to on my own later! Road trip concludes on 8/15
