Top 32 Cities in the USA – Part 1

Ep-225

Jason is BACK!

It’s been a while since we’ve had Jason on, so it’s great to have him back today to talk about our favorite cities, towns, and/or hamlets in the good ol’ U S of A.

Jason has a bit of leg up on me for this one, as he spent years touring around the United States as an Event Manager in all kinds of awesome, and hilarious, vehicles.

We discuss the best gelato outside of Italy, the specific charms of a college town, and all manner of foodstuffs and beer in our meanderings around the country.

Here on the EPoP Podcast, we’re only doing Part 1 of the podcast, counting down to our top 8. We’ll be finishing up the list over on the Zero to Travel podcast, so make sure to head on over and check out the rest of the list!

16 Summer Roadtrips around the U.S.A.

Ep-176

We take a little time during our current road trip to discuss some road trips that we love or would love to do around the United States.

It is, after all, made for road trips!

We discuss road trips all over the country, our favorites, our dishonorable mentions, and of course the ones that break the rules!

These would be great options for summer trips, especially in some of the areas that have harsh winters, or to get away from the harsh winters a little earlier!

Interested in a particular road trip? They’re listed below, but beware of spoilers!

East Coast vs. West Coast: Who Ya Got?

East-VS-West

Today Heather and I pick sides and head into battle.

A battle for the ages.

Which coast is the best coast?

From the food, the weather, and the traffic we debate all the factors that might make someone want to live on either side of the country.

Let us know why we were right (or wrong) and let us know why where YOU live is the best part of the country! We did after all leave out whole regions!
