For centuries the raw beauty, the silence, and the vast landscapes of the desert have provided inspiration to philosophers and dreamers. What happens when you add the allure and magic of Route 66 to the mix? On this epsiode of Coffee With Jim we visit with Professor Nolan Stolz to talk about his moving Route 66 Suite compostion, and the inspiration that came from traveling this storied highway across Arizona.

What is the connection between Route 66 and mead, an ancient drink of the Vikings that filled poets and scholars with inspiration and was the drink of the gods? On this episode of Coffee With Jim, the weekly podcast from Jim Hinckley's America, we talk with Matt Young who has found a unique use for a 1940s service station and garage - a meadery!
Matt Young and his wife Shawndy of Hive Five Meadery, also owners of Laughlin Tours, represent a new generation of ambitious young entrepreneurs with vision that are transforming Route 66. They are also writing a new chapter in the history of Kingman, Arizona, and fueling the historic district renaissance.
If you need a bit of inspiration for a road trip, for pursuing a dream, or be part of an historic district renaissance this program is for you!
