On this episode, we’re taking a look at the Great American Family Road Trip with our guest, Richard Ratay.  He is the author of the critically acclaimed book, Don’t Make Me Pull Over:  An Informal History of the Family Road Trip.  We discuss what Richard learned from road trips and why he has incorporated them into his own family's life, the major companies that were started as a result of the interstate highway system, and how road trips are becoming popular with millennials with the addition of new technology that makes them much easier than they were in the past.
