About The Open Highway

From the publisher's feed

A news, current events and interview podcast hosted by Eric Paul Erickson. Bringing the discovery of the open road into the discourse of modern conversation. Much like the old days when we would sit down at a roadside diner and share a cup of coffee with a fellow traveller, The Open Highway brings conversation back to the world and allows us to learn about interesting topics and people.
