Coffee With Jim

Ten Minutes With Jim - March 3, 2019

I have waited a long time to say say this. On this weeks program we get our kicks under Route 66. It's an adventure of the subterranean kind. Along the way we find a great place for pie, learn about a legend tied to Jesse James, and discover a place to beat the heat in the Mojave Desert. This program is sponsored by Grand Canyon Caverns, and support of our crowdfunding initiative.

If you are a fan of classic movies, this program is for you. If you like obscure trivia about celebrities, this program is for you. If you like to link your road trip adventures to classic cinema, then this program is for you. 
This week we find a place where Easy Rider and The Grapes of Wrath crossed paths, and learn about Bette Davis's forgotten visit to Cuba, Missouri. We have a gruesome incident on Route 66 that transformed a celebrity, follow Gene Autry to Oklahoma, and find out that Pamela Anderson exposed a bit to much on Route 66. 
This weeks program is brought to you by the one and only Wagon Wheel Motel in Cuba, Missouri. This little roadside gem has been providing weary travelers a place to lay the head for more than seven decades, and is today a revered landmark where memories are made. 
The program is also sponsored in part by support of our crowdfunding initiative. 
 

Ten Minutes with Jim February 17, 2019

This week it's time travel and some automotive trivia (better to fill the head with useless knowledge than no knowledge at all). We visit Michigan's forgotten "Motor City's" and a couple of interesting auto museums, learn a bit about David Buick, Henry Ford, and Louis Chevrolet, and I share a bit of family history. Are you ready for an adventure? Well let's go! This weeks program is sponsored by Gilligan's Route 66 Tours, and support of our crowdfunding initiative.  
 
 

Ten Minutes with Jim February 10, 2019

On this weeks episode we visit the odd, the quirky, the downright weird and even a bit of the macabre. The most eclectic museum in the world, a fudge factory where juvenile humor reigns supreme, and a collection of nooses and hoods used in famous executions are the the highlights of today's adventure. 
This weeks program is sponsored by the Blue Swallow Motel and Roadrunner Lodge in Tucumcari, New Mexico, and support of the crowdfunding initiative on the Patreon platform.

Today we talk pie, beef stew, kabob plates, pie, steaks, hamburgers, and pie. It's a gastronomical adventure on Route 66. Join me for another adventure as I share a few of my favorite places for good eats on the old double six.

It's a Beale Street adventure - in Kingman, Arizona. Microbreweries, wine bars, Edsel Ford, and great barbecue are just a few of the surprises. 

Ten Minutes With Jim January 19, 2019

On today's adventure we follow Route 66, and a few historic trails across western Arizona, to Grand Canyon Caverns. As always it a grand adventure with a few tall tales, and the stories of a couple of colorful characters. 

Ten Minutes With Jim January 13, 2019

In this weeks episode we ride the rails to the original Las Vegas and chase the ghost of Edsel Ford, Emily Post, Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders, Doc Holliday and Don Trinidad Romero. It's an Amtrak adventure, a slumber party with strangers. It's another odyssey in Jim Hinckley's America. We would like to thank Grand Canyon Caverns for their sponsorship of the program, as well as the supporters of our crowdfunding initiative that make these programs possible.
