Her influence, style, and timeless classics are celebrated in this nostalgic segment. But the fun doesn't stop there; we also recount our exhilarating experiences on roller coasters and the unique twist of playing Ratchet Bingo—a music-themed bingo game that kept the adrenaline pumping just as much as the rides.Ever missed a flight and faced the chaos of airport security? You'll relate to our candid recount of airport mishaps and the subsequent struggle with rebooking.

Episode 7: Tips for Traveling with Long Covid During an Active Panini HI I USE SOME ADULT LANGUAGE IN THIS EPISODE OK There is no additional guest for this episode because I was traveling for work! I needed to pull something together pretty quickly upon my return, so I asked my Instagram friends what I should talk about and the feedback was overwhelmingly about travel tips. I've done a lot of road trips and a few flights now and (knock on wood) have escaped all past trips Covid-free, so I talk about my experiences and give some tips. The reference to a bucket for the long haul will, um, make sense by the end. This was recorded over the course of a couple of days and I'm still reeling from travel (I forgot to say - schedule rest after any travel. Give yourself a good week. I didn't.) so I repeat myself and there's a lot of good old fashioned word finding going on. Enjoy. This episode covers: How gross people are Traveling with kids Advantages of road tripping A mini rant about cruises Tips on traveling intentionally - considering climates, allergens, humidity, screen time, mcas, time required for travel, spoons Communicating your needs POTS and travel - vestibular chaos Potties Mobility aids at the airport and internalized ableism You can't eat at everybody's house Work travel The Job Accommodation Network website and asking for reasonable accommodations at work Tempo the dog is featured heavily in this episode because I don't have the spoons for profesh editing ok thanks Resources mentioned in this episode: The Job Accommodations Network website: https://askjan.org The Roadside America website: https://www.roadsideamerica.com Covid Safe Colorado https://sites.google.com/view/covidsafecolorado/ It's also important for me to make sure you know that the fact that I mention like 500 brands in this episode does not mean that any of them sponsor me so they are not ads, but I'm going to put links to them because honestly if they want to, I'm game: https://www.estherslv.com/ https://us.loopearplugs.com/ https://drinklmnt.com/ https://www.liquid-iv.com/ https://www.neosporin.com/ https://www.qtips.com/ https://www.lumifyeyes.com/ https://www.rei.com/ https://koa.com/ https://www.airbnb.com/ Also: I AM NOT A DOCTOR OR MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL AND NONE OF THIS IS MEDICAL ADVICE TAKE WHAT I SAY WITH A GRAIN OF SALT I AM JUST A LADY WITH A CHRONIC ILLNESS AND A BIG MOUTH I'd like to acknowledge that this was recorded on Ute, Arapahoe, Cheyenne, and Apache land.

In this first part of our two-part episode, metal artist and welder Rae Ripple joined hosts Dan Davis and Jim Gorzek at FABTECH 2022 in Atlanta to talk about everything from her massive metal Armadillo sculpture, her love of stunt bike riding, the dangers of hot dogs, her goal to create art for Burning Man, and her clever methods for handling and forming sheet metal. Jump ahead to 11:49 to get to our chat with Rae. "I started out as a very poor kid, you know, in this industry," said Rae Ripple, who also appeared on the Netflix show Metal Shop Masters. "I couldn't afford equipment the way other people did it. So if I wanted to get stuff done, I had to learn how to do it a different way, with my bare hands. And a lot of my work is still done like that today." Dan, Jim and the guys also chat about the upcoming star-studded movie "Cocaine Bear" (RIP Ray Liotta), the incredible true story behind it, and how the legend became a Roadside America tourist attraction in Lexington, Ky. They also debate about old-school beers like Schlitz and Old Style, and try to determine if Steel Reserve malt liquor might actually be an industrial lubricant.

The closing days of World War II witnessed a bizarre battle with some unlikely allies: American and German soldiers joined forces to rescue a group of French prisoners from a medieval castle in the Austrian Alps. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll follow the Battle for Castle Itter, the only time that Allies and Germans fought together in the war. We'll also dodge another raft of aerial bombs and puzzle over a bottled pear. Intro: In 1917, Royal Flying Corps trainee Graham Donald fell out of his plane at the top of a loop. In 1750, the 1st Earl of Hardwicke installed an artificial ruin near his country house, Wimpole Hall. Sources for our feature on the Battle for Castle Itter: Stephen Harding, The Last Battle, 2013.

This week, we talk about how to find free or very cheap sites in National Forests and we offer up some major motivation about why you need to get out there RVing. We also report on a study that shows one of the top of the list regrets Baby Boomers have is not traveling more. And we note how the kind of travel that RVing offers builds lasting memories and true contentment. Plus listener questions, comments, lots of tips and an of-the-beaten-path report.

[spp-player] Show Notes for Episode #91 June 8 2016 of Roadtreking - The RV Lifestyle Podcast JENNIFER'S TIP OF THE WEEK [spp-timestamp time="5:12"] Space is always at a premium in an RV so finding ways to maximize storage and take up less room at the same time is quite the balancing act. That's where Zip Lock Bags come in so handy. Most of us use them for things like sandwiches. And that's good. But in the RV, we use them for lots more. In the fridge, I use them for leftovers, for veggies, for premade meals. They pack well and don't roll around or rattle. But in our pantry, they're great for storing things like cereal and dry goods and things that come with lots of packaging, in big boxes that take up lots of space. Just empty the box into a baggie. You've instantly saved at lots of space. And because they seal up tight, things stay fresher than when stored in an open box. Mike uses Zip Lock bags to hold screws, fuses, cables, spare latches for the cabinet doors and various maintenance parts. Because the bags are clear, you instantly know what's inside. And they come in different sizes. Zip Lock Bags make great space savers! Do you have a tip that we should share on the podcast? Use the Leave Voicemail link on the right side of the screen to send it in. I love hearing from you! The tip of the week is brought to you by Good Sam, the world's most popular RV organization, now celebrating its 50thyear. LISTENER QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK: [spp-timestamp time="9:04"] Listener Jan has a question about the piece of wood that connects the lower part of the two rear sofa beds at the back of a Roadtrek. Mike and Jennifer share their experience on how to keep it from falling down. Gina asks about the app Roadside America and what mobile platforms it worked on. Alas, as Mike says, it's only for iOS devices, not Android. The app helps users find all of the oddities across the United States and Canada, from giant twine balls to other off-the-wall attractions like the Cathedral of Junk in Austin, Texas. Search for attractions nearby, where headed – even by theme. The Roadside America app delivers a short description, address, and directions. The app is $2.99 for iOS with in-app purchases available to expand capabilities. By email, reader Loretta asks: Hi!  We are not new to camping, but new to Roadtreking:)  we have a small dog that we need to check on with our iPad using ATT cell data.  Do you know of a compatible 'spy' camera?  I have read so many descriptions on different make cameras, but they always want you to use Wifi - which we will not have on the road.Thanks so much! Loretta Mike shares his solution, Canary, noting that all remote monitoring systems DO require Wi-Fi. But her iPad can set up its own hotspot, which in turn can be used by Canary. The Canary device works through a free app and it provides live, wide angle streaming video and audio. We set it up before we leave the RV and we can use our smartphones to check up on what's happening and how Bo is doing from anywhere. Something else we really like about the Canary: It provides real time readouts of the temperature, humidity and air quality so we can be sure the AC is working. The cost is $200. There are premium fees that you can upgrade to that archives your video, a feature more suited to fulltime use in a fixe...
