Drive‑Thru Towns – Trailer
Hosted by: Andrew Wilcox
Music by: Chloe Jones
Ever blown past a tiny town, slowed only by a red light or a gas pump, and thought, “There’s nothing there”?
Drive‑Thru Towns is here to prove you wrong.
I’m Andrew Wilcox, a sixth‑generation Floridian who grew up on the back roads while my mom made me read every historical marker out loud. Season One stays in Florida, but not the theme‑park, brochure version. We dive into forgotten ports and ghosted boomtowns, island villages that went from pencil wood to world‑champion chowder, back‑road crossroads where entire communities were erased and later remembered, swamp outposts built on stone crab claws and smuggling, psychic camps with “Medium On Duty” signs in the yard, lakeside “mountains” that once let Hollywood paint downtown pink, and hill towns where shade‑grown tobacco and Coca‑Cola stock quietly made millionaires.
Each episode starts in the driver’s seat—what you’d see through the windshield today if you blew right past. Then we pull over, wander the streets, find one local food you have to try and exactly where to sit a spell, and dig into the odd, human, often ridiculous stories underneath—how these towns rose, fell, got weird, and why they still matter.
If you love back roads, overlooked history, and the feeling that every dot on the map is hiding something, you’re in the right place.
