  • Fantastic Podcast

    While driving Route66 in 2024 I found this podcast on a postcard in an enroute attraction.

    Now I’m binge listening to ALL of these episodes back to back, filling in the stories and learning about the people from the route!

    Some of whom I met and many places I visited.

    Overall highly entertaining and a MUST for anyone about to drive the Road!

    Five stars!!

  • The magic of Route 66

    Anthony Arno clearly sees that the magic of Route 66 comes from the people of Route 66 and their stories. As a Californian traveling the route I will never forget the down to earth openness of the people I met on my journey. It is the magic of the these encounters that will keep me returning to the mother road. Thank you Anthony.
