50 States in the Rearview

Meet Erin and her Ford F-150, Ike, as they kick off a journey through the heart of the American story. > 50 States in the Rearview isn’t about checking boxes—it’s about the transformation that happens between the mile markers. From the "stone history" of our state capitols to the comfort of a Diet Coke and a familiar hotel chain, this episode sets the stage for a podcast dedicated to grounded curiosity and solo-travel empowerment.

Throw it in drive—we’ve got some history to uncover.

Most people travel to get somewhere. They’re chasing reservations, five-star reviews, or passport stamps.

I spent the last few years chasing something else.

I’ve stood on the granite steps of all 50 state capitols, and along the way, I fell in love with the parts of America most people pass by too quickly—the places that actually shape us.

50 States in the Rearview is a podcast for the history nerds, the road-trippers, and the people who care more about the journey than the itinerary. My mission isn’t to impress you; it’s to show you that you’re capable of exploring this country on your own terms.

The journey officially begins April 7, 2026.
