Episode 31 begins with an overview of my amazing 2019 Road Trip.  Spanning 2,100-miles, 6 days, and 11 states, it was chock full of incredible sites I had always wanted to see.  In this episode I explain why I went, how I pulled off so many miles in such a short time, and preview some of the places I saw.
We begin the journey with a trip to Hudson, New York.  Seen as one of the best small towns in America it is home to art and culture, fabulous water views, and my favorite, a lighthouse.  I also share my little side track in the town of Saugerties that was part of that day.
40 years ago this week entertainment was changed with the debut of MTV.  What did it mean? How did it affect music and entertainment as a whole?  Find out on This Week In History complete with a Time Capsule from Day One of MTV.
Growing up I had always wanted to be a basketball player.  That may have never happened, but for a week in 2 consecutive summers I got to pretend as I attended the Kevin McHale Basketball Camp.  I go Back In the Day and share some of the famous athletes I met, some of the tips from the legendary former Celtic himself, and how basketball camp was a fallback plan for something much different.
There is also a brand new Top 5 where I list the best concerts I ever attended!
Be sure to watch for my livestreams called Without A Map Friday's at 8pm on Instagram which serve as a sort of postgame show for the podcast. Find them on IGTV and YouTube after they've finished.
