32 Reasons Roadtrips Rule – Part 1

Ep-241

As you may have noticed from the number of podcasts we do about them, we love road trips!

Turns out Jason from Zero to Travel does too, so I’ve invited him to join me today to discuss 32 reasons why road trips are awesome. From just messing around at rest-stops or pulling doing ridiculous stuff just because you can, to ridiculous road games, we chat about a lot of those little things that you love about being on the open road.

But what about you? What do YOU love about road trips? Tweet Jason at @ZerotoTravel or tag us on Instagram @ExtraPackofPeanuts and share your favorite thing about road-tripping!

The No Plans, No Problem Roadtrip

Our Awesome Roadtrip Playlist

EP-178

Back by popular demand:

Napkins!

Today Napkins takes us to the airport while we discuss our must-have albums for any road trip.

I’m stuck in the past (2001 or earlier or it doesn’t exist), Heather tries to keep up with the times, and Napkins rides the line with a little bit of both.

We mention awesome stuff, we forget awesome stuff, and we also almost miss a couple of turns on our way to Newark.

Did we miss one of your favorites? Do YOU have any idea who Pat McGee is? Let us know in the comments below!

16 Summer Roadtrips around the U.S.A.

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!
