Saison 1 · Épisode 3

mercredi 19 août 2026 • Durée 26:32

One hundred years. 2,500 miles. Eight states. Route 66 is a living, linear museum: a road where every mile has a story. Joining Sean Fletcher is author, TV presenter and avid motorcyclist Henry Cole, who has travelled the Mother Road not once, but three times.

Together, they meet Arizona-based author and historian Jim Hinckley to discover how Route 66 became so much more than a highway. And in Amarillo, Texas, they visit a brewery right on the route to hear from Amy Von Lintel about the history, and spirit, of her corner of the Mother Road.

For aspiring actors, Route 66 was more than just a highway: it was a pathway to Hollywood. In this episode, Sean Fletcher sits down with film critic James King to explore why the Mother Road became such a powerful symbol of ambition, opportunity and the pursuit of stardom in American culture.
