Back in 2012, we took a two-week adventure down Route 66. A podcast called Retro Road would not be complete without a discussion on America’s “Mother Road,” so, today, we give an overview of this iconic and historic road through our own memories of one of our favorite adventures of all time!
You can listen here, or subscribe on iTunes, where we’d love to have your review! You can also listen on Stitcher and give us a rating, if you’d like. And, of course, you can listen right here on the blog.
