“Route 66 is a physical journey of American culture and history,” said host Sean Fletcher. “Connecting with my own roots in the US while travelling through stories from Chicago to Santa Monica with such fantastic guests and local legends has been a delight.”
“Every mile of Route 66 tells a story, taking travellers through eight states where iconic landscapes, welcoming communities, and unforgettable experiences capture the spirit of the United States. As we celebrate the route’s centennial, these episodes invite listeners to set out on the Mother Road and create stories of their own”, added Fred Dixon, president & CEO of Brand USA.
