G is for Gather

Season 8 · Episode 284

Your best travel souvenirs aren’t magnets, they’re the habits you bring home. We’re taking “G for Gather” and turning it into a real plan for warmer, easier hosting, especially outdoors. We start with gardens because botanical gardens and arboretums teach you how a space can slow you down, tell a story, and make people feel grounded. From memorable garden visits to lessons picked up from people we meet on the road, we share how we’re translating travel inspiration into our own yard in Waco, one small decision at a time.

Thank you to Slap Ya Mama for sponsoring this episode and for the generous
GIVEAWAY - ENTER NOW!

Then we get practical about the project that’s becoming the heart of our outdoor hosting: our historic late-1800s gazebo renovation. We talk about what’s finished, what’s still in progress, and the big lesson we’re learning the hard way, deciding whether you’re restoring original history or replicating an old look with new materials. If you’re renovating anything, this part will save you stress, time, and money.

From there, it’s all about simple outdoor entertaining tips that actually work: create one clear focal point, lean on lighting for instant ambiance, serve food that can sit and still taste great, and keep the drink station easy. We also go deep on gumbo culture, from dark roux and the Cajun Trinity to the very serious potato-salad-in-the-bowl tradition. You’ll hear a sneak peek from author Robin Tubi (Gather Together) on recipes that “weather well” outside, plus an interview with Jack Walker from Slap Your Mama on how a family gas station prob

F Is For Family

Season 8 · Episode 283

Wednesday, March 25, 2026 • Duration 49:53

Family travel can look like a plane ticket and a view, but most of the time it looks like a familiar driveway, a shared grocery run, and a conversation you don’t rush. Rory and I are living that right now. We’re always “gone,” but a huge part of our roaming is simply going home to our parents, building time together into our travel life.

Fueling and Fulfilling our Flavor Fetishes is Fillos who sponsored this episode.

Visit them at fillosfoods.com and @fillosfoods

We dig into why family is more than a nice idea. It’s the foundation we stand on, and eventually the foundation we start to pour for the people we love. We also get honest about what sharpens that perspective, including grief after losing my sister and Rory’s cancer journey. From there, we connect the same F words guiding our travel to what’s happening inside our historic 1916 home renovation in Waco: a shifting pier and beam foundation, the patience of letting cracks settle, the need for flexibility and flow, and even frugal choices like rescuing reclaimed wood to keep the story and save money.

Then we’re joined by Daniel Caballero, president of Fillos Foods, to talk about a family founded brand built from Cuban and Latin American traditions. We get into what sofrito really is, why shelf stable beans and lentils matter for busy days, and how “walking tamales” became a surprisingly perfect on-the-go meal for hiking, travel days, and quick dinners at home. If you care about meaningful travel, healthy convenience food, and building a life that connects the road to home, this one is for you.

Terlingua Eats And Yurt Retreats

Season 7 · Episode 274

Tuesday, December 9, 2025 • Duration 51:40

A great Big Bend trip starts with a smart plan, not a scramble. We lay out a traveler’s roadmap to Terlingua—where to find the best tacos and tostadas, how to grab a table at the Starlight Theater without burning your evening, and which spots box up trail-ready lunches before you disappear into the park. From a press-lauded barbecue basket to soft-serve pints and breakfast burritos on the go, you’ll get a real feel for the food scene that keeps hikers, rafters, and stargazers happily fueled.

Lodging gets a glow-up with Terlingua Escondido, a pair of thoughtfully built yurts hidden just off the main road. Think full bathroom, a big fridge-freezer, AC and heat, and a stargazing dome under true dark skies. Host Jenny—once a river guide—joins us to share the ghost town’s living history: mercury mining roots, roofless dances at the Starlight, and the creative freedom that birthed today’s A-frames, teepees, restored Airstreams, and hipcamp sites. It’s a portrait of a place with no chain hotels and plenty of character, where neighbors endure summer heat, rare winter ice, and help each other anyway.

We also break down when to go and why it matters. Fall brings green hills after monsoons and flowing river days. Spring surges with energy and crowds. Winter offers mild hiking and the clearest skies. Summer rewards dawn hikers and midday nappers with empty trails and quiet nights. Use our on-the-ground tips to line up dinner, pack better lunches, and pick a stay that lets you savor the desert instead of suffering through it.

Loved the guide? Tap follow, share this with a Big Bend-bound friend, and leave a quick review so more travelers can find the show. Got a Terlingua favorite we missed? Tell us and we’ll add it to the map.
