Episode #981

Pre-recorded this week as I’m off on a family road trip, and to commemorate that, a show full of road/driving/highway/travelling classics from a bunch of our favourites!

This week’s show is one of those timeless standby episodes that you might hear again someday, but I’m hoping that you’ll enjoy it so much that you won’t even mind.
