Route 66, Good News, and The Lost Art of Conversation

Welcome back to another edition of the Rick’s Rambles Podcast! Next year marks the 100th anniversary of Route 66, and I couldn’t be more excited to share some fun insights. We kick things off with 10 fascinating facts about Route 66, the legendary “Mother Road” that has shaped American culture for nearly a century.

From there, we move into our Good News Story of the Week, highlighting the (almost) lost art of conversation—especially those simple, meaningful exchanges with strangers that brighten our days.

In our Story Behind the Song, we revisit Route 66 again, this time through the lens of Bobby Troup’s timeless classic, “(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66,” and explore how this song became an anthem for travelers everywhere.

And of course, we wrap things up with the fun and quirky holidays of the week—because life is always better with a little celebration!

If you love uplifting stories, music history, and positive vibes, this episode is for you.
