Me too! Few things are more mind-numbing than sitting in traffic for 30-60 minutes...Each way. That is time that we will never get back, and is a criminal waste of the most precious resource that we have.
Reading this forum I saw someone mention "Automobile University":
So I tried it out. And let me tell you - my commute is no longer a pain. If I told my co-workers that I look forward to sitting an hour in traffic they would think I'm crazy - but I do. Sometimes I even park my car at home and listen for additional 10-20 minutes until the podcast or audio book I'm listening to is over.
Zig Ziglar coined the term:

Notice the number of hours he mentions that people waste commuting - mind blowing.
Some resources that I used - all on my smart phone:
- Stanford's Entrepreneurship Corner: Podcasts
- Audio books on any topic - just upload them on my phone.
- Google interesting person's name ("MJ DeMarco") + ("podcast/audio interview") - great thing about audio is that the file size is tiny so even with 3G internet on the freeway it's possible to listen to them without any delays. 99% podcasts on the internet are also free.

“Automobile University†- listening to motivational or instructional tapes while driving in your car to and from work.
