This podcast approaches travel in the United States as a matter of settling somewhere long enough to understand it. The country is vast central plains, western mountains, eastern hills and low mountains, plus Alaska and Hawaii's volcanic terrain. That range makes each relocation a shift in climate and habit as much as geography. Her route takes in real range: Chicago and the Great Lakes, the Rocky Mountain front, the arid Great Basin of the southwest, and the low mountain country of the east. She also treats Washington, D.C. as a working capital rather than a postcard. Each location is chosen for how it connects to the last. The podcast follows a slower rhythm.
