Ruins, Rats, and Realizations (Podcast S2:E3)

A new episode of the Road Tripping in America podcast is out now! Listen on your favorite podcast app or on roadtrippinginamerica.com.

Join us as we think about what ruins really are, then see the behind the scenes reality of making a podcast in the wild, and finally, get an update on the evolution of our stuff – a sneak peek on that…we had to add some rodent repellent to our arsenal…

If you prefer reading your updates, we always post the full transcript on the podcast site – you can find it here, along with links to some of the things we mention in the episode.
