We are really proud of every episode we wrote and we hope you’ve enjoyed listening to them as much as we enjoyed sharing them with you.

.

We cover several of our favorite episodes in this "clip show" so if you want to listen to any of them (again), check out our episode library!

Get ready for a roadtrip down the highway! Today we're going to be visiting the roadside motel of the midcentury. We cover their beginning, their peak, and their unfortunate present state (spoiler alert: they're not as cool now as they were before).
