Podcasts about The Great American Road Trip

A record 45 million Americans were expected to travel this Memorial Day weekend, long considered the unofficial kickoff to summer. And most of them were hitting the road. Sarah Kendzior is no stranger to the family road trip. Her family, in fact, has visited 38 states—and counting. These trips were born out of a love and curiosity for America and a desire to explore small towns, vast National Parks, and the unexpected oddities along the way. And when money was tight, the best way for her family to see the country was simply to jump in the car and go.In her new book, The Last American Road Trip: A Memoir, Sarah chronicles those family trips while grappling with a country she believes is failing to uphold its own ideals. Sarah says she feels an urgency to share the country she loves with her children but often wonders if these travels—and the version of America she knows—might be coming to an end.“Every trip I describe in that book,” Sarah says, “I set off wondering: Is this the last time the four of us will get to be together exploring America with the freedom that we have now?”On this week's More To The Story, Sarah chats with host Al Letson about trying to show her children the America she adores while holding a light to its flaws, her concerns for the nation's future, and why hitting the road is often the best way to understand yourself—and your country.Producers: Josh Sanburn and Artis Curiskis | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Digital producer: Daniel King | Interim executive producers: Brett Myers and Taki Telonidis | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al Letson Donate today at  Revealnews.org/more Subscribe to our weekly newsletter at Revealnews.org/weekly Follow us on Instagram and Bluesky Listen: Black in the Sunshine State (Reveal)Read: Republicans Aim to Generate Support for Selling Off America's Public Lands (Mother Jones)Read: How to Travel Abroad as the World's Most Toxic Brand: American (Mother Jones)Read: The Last American Road Trip: A Memoir, by Sarah KendziorNote: If you buy a book using our Bookshop link, a small share of the proceeds supports our journalism.

Stuckey's is a legendary and iconic thread in the fabric of Americana. Founded in Eastman, Georgia in 1937 by WS “Sylvester” Stuckey, Sr., Stuckey's grew into a roadside empire by the 1970s, with 368 stores in more than 30 states. Part of the charm that made Stuckey's so iconic were its ubiquitous billboards, more than 4,000 of them, which were dotted along U.S. highways. Stuckey's was an inextricable part of what became known as “The Great American Road Trip.” Fast forward to 2019, Stuckey's was on life support. The brand had gone through hard times, and its former stand-alone locations, still identifiable by their teal blue roofs, were now relics of a bygone era. Some were abandoned and boarded-up; others became home to less-than-savory businesses. By this time the brand had changed hands multiple times and become an unprofitable line item on a bigger company's balance sheet. But Stuckey's was about to experience a surprising rebirth. In 2019, former Georgia legislator Stephanie Stuckey, a practicing attorney at the time, received a fateful phone call. Stuckey's, the brand started by her grandfather all those years ago, was up for sale. With no experience in running a business, 53-year-old Stephanie defied the odds (and the advice of virtually everyone she spoke to), cashed in her entire life's savings, and traded her future to buy back and revive the business bearing her family's name. Since then, Stephanie has become a legend in the business community. A perfect storm of scrappiness, shrewd business sense and passion, she's now a bone fide rock star with all the street cred to stage a successful turnaround. And she has the receipts to prove it. Under Stephanie's leadership, Stuckey's and its flagship pecan log rolls are back in black. In this episode, Stephanie discusses growing up with an iconic last name, her career as a legislator and attorney, her decision to lay it all on the line to buy back her family's business, how she's rebuilt the brand, and what's next for Stuckey's. Stephanie chronicles her life on the road at her Instagram account, @stuckeystop. Her new book, “UnStuck: Rebirth of an American Icon,” is available at Amazon or wherever you buy books.

November 14th- 21st: Elizabeth Bisland begrudgingly takes a trip across America. In this episode, we travel the northern route of the Great American road trip from New York to California. Over these 4000 miles, we stop in Chicago, pass through the Midwest, interact with Native American women, and explore San Francisco's Chinatown. As Elizabeth Bisland passes through America, her mood transforms as well. She starts to take this race seriously as she steps off American soil and heads to the far east.

Summer may be winding down, but the road to adventure lives forever in our hearts. Or does it? People still take road trips, but where they go and why has changed drastically over the last 30 years, and the coming wave of EVs is going to alter our idea of a road trip even more.So, do gas prices matter at all? Do sky-high airfares impact our willingness to sit in a car for 20 hours? Did roadside hotels see a post-pandemic dip or boost in summer occupancy? What's the worst state to drive to? And are people still driving cross-country, Griswold-style?

 The final leg of our Great American Road Trip is winding its way through New England for the first half of September before we head home, and today finds us down at the Boston harbor as we tune in to some music and Jack Benny.You can find Jake's book here - https://www.amazon.com/Case-Oak-Haven-Jacob-Westbrook/dp/B0BV455MJ7/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1677335765&refinements=p_27%3AJacob+G.+Westbrook&s=books&sr=1-1&text=Jacob+G.+Westbrookhttps://archive.org/download/230902-massachusetts-bound/230902%20Massachusetts%20Bound.mp3

While on vacation? While in a wedding? While giving birth? No these aren't major life milestones. They are all the places we and our fellow REALTORS have conducted business in this wacky world of real estate. On this week's episode, Heather's family trip to the Grand Canyon inspired the hosts to discuss all the places they've had the pleasure of negotiating real estate transactions, the times they felt the juice was worth the squeeze and the times it just wasn't worth it. Although the age old saying of "Want to get more business? Just go on vacation" still holds true, Heather and Kalyn come to some realizations that it might be time to set some boundaries and learn how to r-e-l-a-x (someday). Although we can't provide any tips on how to separate your work from your vacation, Heather can provide some tips on what to do on the Great American Road Trip: pack the snacks, be impressed by the elk and skip the prickly pear chocolate bar.

Nothing says Americana quite like the Great American Roadtrip. And no American roadtrip in the past would have been complete without Stuckey's.  What happened to that American staple of rest stop kitsch, candy, and convenience?  In an idea that seemed sound at the time, the Stuckey family sold its stores.  Eventually, the Stuckey brand suffered, stores gradually disappered, and their absence left a void.  Now, Stuckey's is not only back but back in the Stuckey family.  Stephanie Stuckey, the granddaughter of the original owner, is now running the company as its CEO. Stephanie's got big plans for Stuckey's and we're excited to share them with you on episode #91 of Mainstreet. Instagram: @stuckeystopTwitter: @StuckeyStopTicToc: @StuckeyStopFacebook: @E.Stephanie StuckeyWebsite: https://stuckeys.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniestuckey/Mainstreet is pleased to welcome a new sponsor, Eternal Paw Prints.

The world has changed since Steinbeck took Charley in search of America. I know my life has changed drastically since my 7,715.8 mile adventure across America in college, that was just 15 years ago!  Some think the idea of the Great American Road Trip is dying. I'm here to ask you, please start a budget and hit the road again! Katie sits down with me as I go over, things to look out for when venturing out for a 2022 (or 2023) road trip. With or without little ones, or fur babies. Even after more than 30 thousand road trip miles (not counting any drive less than 1,000 miles) and over a thousand budgeting pretentions I miscalculated my budget. You don't have to.  -FelipeSupport the show

Reno Collier has built a reputation by selling out comedy clubs and colleges nationwide. In 2004 he joined Larry The Cable Guy on the hugely successful Tour of America. Following the success of that tour, in 2005 Reno taped his own Comedy Central Presents half-hour special. Reno's other national tours look more like a comedian's wish-list than a resume, including theater and arena tours with the legendary Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Ron White. From January 2007-2016, he re-joined Larry the Cable Guy for his wildly successful arena tour spanning the United States and Canada. Reno's past TV credits include NBC's Late Friday, The Martin Short Show, TBS's Blue Collar Comedy: The Next Generation, his own Comedy Central Special, and The Roast of Larry the Cable Guy. He also appeared in CMT'S holiday special, Larry the Cable Guy's Hula Palooza Christmas Luau and the 2012 special Them Idiots. Reno also made appearances in the feature films Witless Protection (2008) and Jingle All the Way 2 (2014). Through the years, Reno has headlined the Comics on Duty tour for American troops stationed in the Middle East, Africa, and all over the world. He is a weekly correspondent on the Bob & Tom and regular guest on the Big D and Bubba syndicated radio shows and Country Music Television (CMT), hosting various specials for the network. He was a cohost on the Sirius Satellite Radio show Chewing the Fat with fellow comedian Leanne Morgan for 3 years. Reno has performed at prestigious comedy festivals such as HBO Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, CO, as well as Just for Laughs in Montreal where he just performed his third gala. Reno's personable comedy makes him a hosting favorite, having hosted NBC's summer family reality show Great American Road Trip, AXIS TV's Gotham Live, multiple CMT specials and Animal Planet's competition series, Top Hooker. Reno taped a comedy special for Dry Bar Comedy and hosted an episode of STAND UP NASHVILLE at Zanies Comedy Club for the Circle Network in 2020. As a singer, actress, and entertainer, Rebecca Holden's appearances have amassed a fan club with members from around the globe. Musically, Rebecca has performed in a diversity of styles. Classically trained as a voice major and piano minor at the University of North Texas, she has sung opera, and performed the lead roles in musical theater such as "Oliver" and "Damn Yankees". She recorded a country album for Curb records, with her music videos appearing on TNN and CMT. She also recorded both a country and gospel album for BMG Records in Switzerland and toured internationally all over Europe and the Far East, even performing for the King of Malaysia. She had the honor of being the featured performer with the United States Air Force Band at a memorial for WWII veterans, for which George Bush was the guest speaker. First discovered by a top talent agent while continuing her voice studies in NY, she became a "Breck" girl, which led to magazine covers and countless other national commercials such as Ivory Soap, Dentyne, Kellogg's, Gillette, Arrid, Chevrolet, and ultimately a major television and film career in Los Angeles. Television viewers all over the world are familiar with Rebecca through her stint as "April Curtis", the computer whiz, on the NBC series, Knight Rider (1982), which has appeared in syndication in most major markets throughout the U.S. and over 100 foreign countries. She attained added recognizability from her roles as the diabolical "Elena Cosgrove" on ABC's General Hospital (1963) and from countless guest-starring roles on such primetime shows as Magnum, P.I. (1980), The Love Boat (1977), Taxi (1978), Night Court (1984), The New Mike Hammer (1984), Remington Steele (1982), Matt Houston (1982), Barney Miller (1975), and many others.

   Mona Haydar and her husband Sebastian Robins gained international attention for their “Ask a Muslim” project— a booth offering free donuts in exchange for dialogue in the wake of the Paris and San Bernardino extremist attacks. Not long after, Mona's hip-hop anthem, “Hijabi (Wrap My Hijab),” gained more than 8 million views on YouTube, and Billboard named it one of the “Best Protest Songs” of the year.  Now the couple star in the new PBS series, The Great Muslim American Road Trip, in which they explore the Muslim experience in America on a 2,500-mile drive from Chicago to Los Angeles. Although they are practicing Muslims (Sebastian converted after meeting Mona), the couple, like most Americans, are unfamiliar with Islam's deeps roots in America. The road trip enables them to experience the breathtaking panoramas and iconic roadside attractions that have made Route 66 famous, and learn more about the history of their faith and what it means to be Muslim in America today.

There's something about ROAD TRIPPING that instantly brings to mind your parents rusty station wagon, your little brother or sister crying next to you after getting a blow pop stuck in their hair, the soft foam of walkman headphones and going cross-eyed or getting car sick after playing GAMEBOY for hours on end. The mixed blessing of America is that if you have a car you can go anywhere in the country, without fear of road blocks or anything stopping you - you and quite literally take a journey across our lands and explore places you've never been before. It's the romantic characteristic of being in a touring band, a new city and a new place every night. It's the reason people sell their homes, buy an RV and pack up, gas up, and never stop. Join us this week as we talk about the joys and wonders of The Great American Road Trip! Thank you so much for listening, sharing, and all your kind words. BE RAD! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SHOW INFO

Dani is driving down an open road and Doug is bidding adieu to the real Winter. It's the final week of our four part Great American Road Trip. Dani waits out the storms and takes some time in Sequoia National Park. Doug reaches the Redwoods but remembers that there is always more to see which is the true driver of life.

Doug is practicing his trail hellos and Dani has morphed into a road snail. This week we share the third installment of our four part Great American Road Trip. Doug continues his coast trip, reaches southern Oregon, and makes many admissions. Dani's West Sierra trip enters Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park, venturing into Sequoia National Forest to flee the May snow. Enjoy your part time adventure relationships, be weary of the dude lurking around Kissing Rock, and stare down a chipmunk. It's Eric Stolz.

Dani is still in one of the Pines and Doug is annoyed by noisy Boy Scouts. This week is the second installment of our four part series, The Great American Road Trip. Dani visits some areas in the Stanislaus National Forest that have been dammed and Doug continues down the coast, this time, making it to Oregon, but just barely. Appreciate the sunsets, listen to the crows in your head, and you're probably just jealous of The Goonies. It's Rogue.

Doug is sprained but inspired and Dani is encountering fake influencers in the wild. This week we kick off another four part series! Pack something good because we are taking you all along on two Great American Road Trips! Doug starts down the coast but is swayed to slow by the riches of the Olympic Peninsula and Dani narrows her focus to what is north of Yosemite National Park, specifically some accessible spots in parts of the Stanislaus National Forest.   Own your Batman body, live your experience rather than manufacturing it, and embrace the home that you find down by that river. It's Tolumne.
