Hip To The Trip: A Route 66 Tale

On today’s episode of Coffee With Jim we visit with Professor Peter Dedek, author and professor of public history at Texas State University. Peter has a delightful new book, Hip To The Trip, Route 66 centennial edition that provides some interesting perspective on this storied old highway. Aside from a thorough dive into the history of the road and the evoution of its culture, this fully revised update of the classic first edition highlights how the renaissance has reshped Route 66.

Jim Hinckley’s America is a shared adventure. But like a good book, when one chapter ends another begins. The live stream Coffee With Jim podast on Podbean is coming to an end. In mid May the live stream option will no longer be available. Stay tuned for details but at this time it looks like we will be moving the program to our Substack hub or YouTube channel.
