Customer Reviews
Good Podcast!
I really like it, but why haven't you put up a new one since August? We would love to hear more!
What is the problem?
I have subscribe to this podcast, why can't I access it?!?
Good podcast/infomercial
An obvious eight part pod-o-mercial to help sell the book. Nonetheless it's still an interesting podcast that really makes you want to take a road trip. I bought the book so apparently the sales pitch works. It's only an eight part podcast which doesn't take up much of your time. It's worth listening to.
