Gribblenation Roadcast

A new baseball season is right around the corner and so let's mark the occasion on this latest Roadcast episode! Dan's guest on the show is Rob Adams, sports director at WGCH radio in Greenwich, CT, and a part-time public address announcer for the High-A minor league Hudson Valley Renegades baseball team in Fishkill, NY. Rob and Dan sat down to break down the MLB landscape division by division, with some emphasis placed on our local New York teams and the major rules changes that are expected to impact the game league-wide this season. If you like roads AND sports, this might be the episode for you!

The annual installment of America's biggest sporting event is upon us and in this episode Gribblenation's Dan previews the matchup, the cities involved, and their respective road networks. All with the help of a trio of "mystery guests"! It's a special preview show, geared toward road enthusiasts!

The U.S. state of Alaska is a corner of North America that few road & travel enthusiasts have the opportunity to visit. Fortunately, Gribblenation's Dan & Doug have been up that way fairly recently and in this episode of the Roadcast, they are joined by fellow Alaska traveler Scott Onson of the aaroads.com forum to discuss their individual and shared experiences of traveling around the region in the last couple years.

This episode is intended to serve as a companion piece to a webinar presentation on the 'roadwaywiz' YouTube channel featuring an overview of the state of Alaska highway system, which is available at the link below:

With the summer travel season behind us and the calendar turning to the days of leaf peeping and pumpkin spice everything, Dan spends this episode recapping his busy summer, including summaries of the major road trips (and other events) that made this past summer one of his busiest in recent years. Dan also looks ahead at what to expect from him here on the podcast, the blog, and the 'roadwaywiz' YouTube channel over the coming weeks and months.

The Hudson Valley region of New York State is full of scenic, memorable drives as well as impressive feats of engineering and architecture. In this episode, Dan is joined by fellow road enthusiast, sports fan, and Hudson Valley native Rob Adams of WGCH Radio to discuss some of the best, most nostalgic, and most memorable drives that this often-underappreciated corner of the Empire State has to offer.
