Podcasts about Route 66

Pack the car! Route 66 turns 100 this year, and the Mother Road is still one weird and wild ride. We're hitting the highway from the California border to the New Mexico high desert, where we'll encounter the feral donkeys who rule the streets of a gold rush boomtown, visit an abandoned zoo with a body count, and climb a 2,000-year-old pueblo with a hidden staircase that outsmarted the Spanish conquistadors. Along the way, journalist and adventurer Will Grant introduces us to the people who populate this legendary road: a Hualapai elder who remembers the highway's golden age, the determined shopkeeper who fought to preserve her town's iconic neon glow, and a young Diné man who grew up at his family's trading post. Together, they share what the centenarian route means to the communities that depend on it—and tap into the powerful hold it still has on the nation's imagination. Whether you long for an epic Western roadtrip or you're just here for the vintage kitsch, this episode will have you reaching for the keys. Where Route 66 takes us: Oatman, Arizona: Stop to cuddle the adorable baby burrows in this old mining town. Kingman, Arizona: Home to the Arizona Route 66 Museum, where Model T's roll in from Chicago and tourists arrive from around the globe. Peach Springs, Arizona: The heart of the Hualapai Nation, where the tribal market is the unofficial town square. Williams, Arizona: Vintage neon signs dot one of the most authentic main streets on the route. Two Guns, Arizona: An abandoned zoo where the murderous owner was mauled by his own mountain lions. Winslow, Arizona: The sandstone canyon where Easy Rider and The Grapes of Wrath were filmed, plus a classic Diné trading post. Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico: Dubbed Sky City, this mesa-top village is the oldest continuously inhabited community in the U.S. Guest: Will Grant Born and raised in Colorado, Will Grant brings a cowboy-philosopher's eye to the landscapes, characters, and histories that make the West unlike anywhere else on earth. After college, he worked as a cowboy and a horse trainer in Colorado, Wyoming, and Texas, where he apprenticed under the legendary horseman Jack Brainard. In 2008, he pivoted to a career in journalism, but he continues to seek out ways to combine horses and storytelling. His 2023 book, The Last Ride of the Pony Express, recounts his 2,000-mile journey along the famed mail route with his horses Chicken Fry and Badger. Other adventures include a 600-mile horse race across Mongolia, an expedition to find gold in Arizona, and two trips to Kyrgyzstan to play kok boru, the most dangerous horseback game on the planet.  For Via, Will traded his saddle for a steering wheel to investigate some of the most storied—and strangest—stretches of Route 66. His writing has also appeared in Outside magazine, Bloomberg Businessweek, the Wall Street Journal, and regional publications throughout the West. Will currently lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with his partner, Claire Antoszewski, and two dogs, three chickens, and five horses. Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.

Beyond aprons and roadside diners, women helped power and preserve Route 66. Edwardsville resident Cheryl Eicher Jett's new book “Aprons Away: Women's Work on Route 66” — which first premiered as a play — chronicles untold stories of more than 80 women who worked along the Mother Road's 2,448-mile stretch. We talk with the author about some histories of the women who shaped the landmark, including some from the St. Louis area.

This week, we're joined by Mostly Horror veteran CJ Leede, author of Maeve Fly and American Rapture, to discuss her latest novel, Headlights. We caught up on her experience living on the road, talked about the color palettes of her books, and explored how visiting locations shapes her storytelling. She also shared how the role grief and mortality played into writing Headlights, and what it was like navigating those more difficult themes while simultaneously reaching new highs in her career. We also spent plenty of time talking about John Denver, UFOs, roadside attractions, and other paranormal mysteries. As always, it was an absolute pleasure catching up with CJ and hearing about the journey behind Headlights. There's never a dull moment talking with CJ, so ... COME HANG OUT!!!

On a cold December morning in 1969, a motorist pulled into an all-night Shell station near Glenarm, Illinois, along old Route 66. Inside, the counter was empty. In the storeroom, 18-year-old David Burch Jr. was found dead.What began as a late-night robbery became one of Sangamon County's most haunting murder cases: a young attendant killed on the graveyard shift, a father and son accused of the crime, a death sentence, and an abandoned station left rotting beside the changing highway.This is the story of David Burch, Tuttle's Shell Service Station, and the dark side of America's Mother Road.Check out our new American Hauntings Podcast Network for even more spooky shows.Have a question or comment?

John Steinbeck called it “The Mother Road.” Songwriter Bobby Troup said it was where to go to get your kicks. Mickey Mantle swore, “If it hadn't been for Highway 66 I never would have been a Yankee.”The Kitchen Sisters spent the summer of 1984 traveling every inch of this storied highway — “The Main Street of America” — as it was closing, recording just about everything that moved between Chicago and LA and made a series of epic radio documentaries to commemorate the legendary road and what it meant to the nation. If I remember right we paid about $1.20 a gallon as we motored east to west.In the summer of 1985 the road was officially removed from the United States Highway system and NPR's All Things Considered aired our series of stories about the life and history of Route 66 filled with interviews with dozens and dozens of Americans whose lives intersected with The Mother Road, along with field recordings, archival audio, music and sound.As Route 66 turns 100 we dipped into our archive to share these poignant and lively time capsules for your next road trip and your summer listening pleasure.Our narrator is actor David Selby.

This week Francis and Beth go to Chicago for a dance competition and stop at some roadside towns to take in the midwest culture. We stop off in Atlanta Illinois on the way up to visit some giant fiberglass friends, and Pontiac Illinois on the way home to visit their Route 66 museum complex. This is a preview episode.

Route 66, known as “America's Main Street” is not the longest or most-travelled American highway. Fully paved in the 1930s, it became a Depression-era migration route for poor farming families fleeing the Dust Bowl for a new start in California. It's been featured in popular media for decades. Kathleen Franz, lead curator at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, unpacks more of the road's history.And, the 1973 album “A Grain of Sand: Music for the Struggle of Asians in America” was one of the first recognized musical albums expressing Asian American identity. It's often considered a blend of political statements within a collective art project. Sojin Kim, curator of the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, details the album's legacy.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

In honor of that centennial, we are replaying a 2021 conversation with Brennan Matthews from ROUTE magazine, talking about its and what fun and amazing things can be seen and experienced by traveling Route 66.

Apple News Today is off for Memorial Day. In place of our usual show, we're bringing you something special: a story from Los Angeles Times staff writer Christopher Reynolds about the epic road trip he took on Route 66 — driving all the way from Chicago to Santa Monica — and the people he met along the way. Narrated by Dan Bittner for Apple News+.

Today's story: Route 66 was created in 1926 as part of America's new national highway system and soon became a symbol of freedom, migration, and adventure. The highway helped farmers transport goods, guided Dust Bowl migrants west to California, and later became famous for family road trips, roadside attractions, and American car culture. As Route 66 celebrates its 100th anniversary, towns along the historic road are honoring its lasting influence on travel and tourism.

Travels With Randy Route 66 Episode 17 is here! TWR Route 66 Ep 17: The Route 66 Postgame Debrief And Summer Plans Route 66 Murals Discussion Bubba and Randy discussed Randy's travels along Route 66 in Texas, particularly focusing on new murals being created in Amarillo. Randy explained how artists are now able to create murals due to recently received grant money, describing the process he observed where artists first sketch the design before painting it. The conversation concluded with a discussion about the financial challenges faced by artists, comparing their situation to other creative professions like acting and writing. Route 66 Travel Journey Discussion Bubba and Randy discussed Randy's ongoing Route 66 travel journey, which has generated $9 in advertising revenue through podcast sponsorships. Randy explained his plans to meet up with his friend Darren in Albuquerque for golf before potentially heading to California or taking a more inland route along the western side of the Rockies to Washington, depending on gas prices. Bubba noted that Randy's travel plans are often spontaneous and unpredictable, with Randy frequently moving between different locations across the country. Route 66 September Journey Planning Randy explained his plan to return to Route 66 in September for another 16-episode journey, this time focusing on exploring destinations and experiences along the later alignments of the route rather than just following the original 1926-1930 path. He aims to be in Seligman for the Route 66 Centennial in November and is using this current trip to meet people and gather information for potential fall events. Randy noted that he has changed his approach by driving at night to see neon signs and has adjusted his schedule to better experience the route's unique features. Route 66 Photography Plans Randy shared his recent experience photographing neon signs along Route 66, including a large neon Coke bottle at a store called Pops in Arcadia. He discussed plans for a future fall trip that would focus more on experiencing Route 66 rather than just taking pictures, potentially including staying in classic motels and renting a classic car. Randy also mentioned seeing a motorcade of motorcycles and SUVs with Italian flags in El Reno, Oklahoma, though Beth clarified that the Italian flag colors are green, white, and red. Route 66 Road Trip Plans Randy shared his Route 66 road trip plans, discussing his experience driving classic cars and staying at Cracker Barrel locations along the route. He explained that the trip could be completed in about two weeks of driving 2 hours daily, and mentioned his upcoming visit to meet with Mo in Arizona and Cindy in California. Bubba revealed that Cindy is a real person, not AI, and shared his positive experience meeting her at Randy's retirement party. Reconnecting Through Social Media Platforms Bubba and Randy discussed reconnecting with old acquaintances through social media platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn. Randy shared his experience reconnected with a former filmmaking partner through Facebook, leading to the recovery of their old Super 8 films from the 1970s. They discussed digitizing these films and potentially organizing a viewing party. The conversation also touched on their shared experiences with early technology, including the TRS-80 computer, and Bubba's childhood creative writing efforts. Generational Technology and Travel Discussion Bubba and Randy discussed the generational gap between boomers and millennials, particularly regarding technology use. They talked about Randy's travel plans, including attending 4th of July celebrations and exploring Route 66. Bubba suggested asking their Facebook audience for adventure ideas for Randy to consider during his summer travels. Randy shared his experience finding a section of Route 66 in Oklahoma with a sign marking Paul McCartney's visit in 2009. Long-Term Relationships and Travel Plans Bubba and Randy discussed their experiences with long-term relationships and travel, sharing personal anecdotes about their marriages and lifestyle choices. Randy explained his current living situation and approach to relationships, while Bubba shared insights about his 30-year marriage to Linda. They also discussed Randy's upcoming content plans for the summer, including weekly Saturday posts featuring Route 66 themes, and agreed to continue their weekly discussions while focusing on US travel content. The conversation concluded with plans to develop their website and potentially generate revenue over the summer. SO. MANY.

What does it take to stay creatively productive for five decades? In this episode of Productivity Smarts, host Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Annette LaFortune Murray, storyteller, educator, and Route 66 expert, to unpack the habits and mindset behind five decades of prolific, purposeful creativity. Annette shares how she spent years researching the life of Cyrus Avery, the visionary behind America's most iconic highway, and how that deep dive transformed her approach to writing and productivity. From structuring her peak energy hours (8 to 10 AM) to using the BIC (Butt in Chair) method, Annette reveals how she balances disciplined focus with intentional breaks, field trips, and real world inspiration. She discusses overcoming writer's block by "trying on a new hat," using virtual writing communities on Zoom to combat isolation, and organizing research with visual templates borrowed from award winning authors. Annette also emphasizes the power of mentorship, peer critique, and reading work aloud to sharpen its impact. Her four keys, listen and look, write down the thought, stay happy with your work, and read it aloud, offer a practical framework that writers and creators at any stage can apply immediately.

The tale of Route 66 might seem like just a tale of freedom on the road, the great American desire for exploration, and our love affair with the car. And it is all that. But it's also much more. It's about the cities, towns and unique places all along the route and their stories.Chris Elisara and John Paget are sharing those stories, in a 100th anniversary documentary about Route 66. I happened to catch up with them in Springfield, Missouri, which is where Route 66 was in some part given birth. Chris and John own First and Main Films, and have their own love affair with telling stories of underdog cities and towns. We crossed paths originally with the New Urbanism Film Festival, which has now evolved into something much bigger called the Better Cities Film Festival, based in Detroit.Be sure to catch their work about Route 66, something that has occupied them for something close to a lifetime, and which tells us so much about America's history and our cities and towns.Find more content on The Messy City on Kevin's Substack page.Music notes: all songs by low standards, ca. 2010.

Welcome to Erick, Oklahoma—the "Town of Legends" that packs more history and "cool factor" per square foot than almost anywhere else on the Mother Road. In this episode of The Only in OK Show, we're stopping at the corner of Route 66 and Sheb Wooley Ave to explore the 100th Meridian Museum. Housed in a stunning 1907 bank building, this museum is the guardian of the "## Title: The 100th Meridian Museum: Where the West Begins (and Texas Ends?) Description Welcome to Erick, Oklahoma, the "Town of Legends" that packs a serious punch for its size. Known as the home of Roger Miller (King of the Road) and Sheb Wooley (The Purple People Eater), Erick is a must-visit stop for anyone cruising the Mother Road. In this episode of The Only in OK Show, we explore the 100th Meridian Museum. While many travelers pull off I-40 hoping to find the now-closed Roger Miller Museum, they actually discover something even more fascinating right across the street. What we cover in this episode: The Great Divide: What is the 100th Meridian? We dive into the "line in the sand" that separates the humid East from the arid West and the 166-year-old boundary dispute between Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle. The Historic First National Bank: Housed in a stunning 1907 building on the corner of Route 66 and Sheb Wooley Ave, we look at the quirky architecture (and why the back 20 feet of the building is suspiciously plain). A Steward of Legends: Since the Roger Miller Museum closed, the 100th Meridian Museum has taken over his legacy. We talk about the memorabilia, prehistoric Native American artifacts, and the cowboy trail drive history housed within. The Personal Touch: Meet the storytellers! Volunteers like Curtis and C.R. provide guided tours that bring the "weird and wonderful" history of Erick to life. Pro-Tip: This museum isn't your typical 9-to-5. It is often open by appointment only! Call ahead at 580-799-5054 or 580-526-3221 to ensure you get the full tour. Admission is FREE, but don't forget to leave a donation to help these amazing local volunteers preserve Oklahoma history.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Rhys Martin, President of the Oklahoma Route 66 Association and Preserve Route 66 Manager for the National Trust for Historic Preservation. We explore the fascinating history and ongoing cultural impact of Route 66, and how this 2,448-mile linear village has driven economic growth and inspired travelers around the world for nearly a century. As Route 66 gears up for its Centennial Celebration, Rhys shares behind-the-scenes insights on managing a celebration of this magnitude, the creative events planned along the legendary highway, and how local and national organizations are working together to secure Route 66's legacy for future generations. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Rhys became passionate about Route 66 and took on leadership roles in both local and national organizations dedicated to its preservation Why Route 66 remains a powerful economic engine and cultural icon for communities What makes the centennial celebration of Route 66 such a significant milestone How planning such a widespread, multi-state centennial collaboration is managed How communities along Route 66 have adapted to changes over time, reinventing themselves to stay vibrant and relevant after the highway was bypassed Why increased communication and collaboration among state associations, local businesses, and international partners is crucial to ongoing success What creative and large-scale events, like the Capitol Cruise and national caravans, are being organized to celebrate Route 66's 100th anniversary How the Route 66 experience builds authentic connections between travelers, communities, and cultures Cultural Legacy of Route 66 Route 66 is a linear village, a chain of communities bound together by shared history and mutual destiny. Its legacy is evident in the preservation of historic theaters, vintage motels, quirky museums, and neon-lit diners, all lovingly maintained by local volunteers and business owners committed to keeping the legend alive. Over time, especially as interstates bypassed many towns, Route 66 evolved, communities that once faced decline have reinvented themselves as hubs of nostalgia and culture. Planning the Centennial With eight states and thousands of miles to coordinate, the Route 66 Centennial is a massive collaborative endeavor. Rhys shares how, since the 1980s, state Route 66 associations have formed a grassroots network, filling the organizational gap left when the federal designation was removed in 1985. These groups work together to create unified celebrations, coordinate marketing efforts, and share resources, exemplifying how communication and a shared purpose can overcome even vast geographical distances. The centennial plans include an ambitious Capital Cruise in Tulsa, aiming for a Guinness World Record with over 3,000 classic cars, cross-country caravans, and international motorcycle tours. The centennial is as diverse and dynamic as the road itself. Lessons in Partnership and Unity At the heart of Route 66's success is partnership, communication, and an ethos of shared benefit. What happens in Oklahoma brings value to New Mexico and Texas, and vice versa. The route becomes a metaphor for unity, proving that travel, when rooted in conversation and curiosity, can bridge differences and create genuine human connection.
