If your idea of travel is getting from point A to B in the shortest time possible, you've probably missed the AMERICAN ROAD®. It's that network of concrete capillaries that supply the soul of every corner of this great land and more and more people are discovering the joy of the journey with the AMERICAN ROAD®.
AMERICAN ROAD® with Thomas and Becky Repp, co-hosted by Foster Braun is a talk show that celebrates travel across the historic two-lane highways of North America. This unique broadcast is an extension of AMERICAN ROAD®, an internationally distributed magazine, which celebrates the people and places along America's two-lane jewels like Route 66. Thomas Repp, Executive Editor of AMERICAN ROAD® and author of two critically-acclaimed books on the Mother Road, has parlayed his extensive knowledge, delightful wit and network of contacts to the airwaves. He and Becky (Coordinating Editor of American Road®), along with seasoned radio veteran, Foster Braun (WJR-AM, Detroit) introduce listeners to personalities such as lady gunfighters from Cyanide Springs, Arizona, guide them down historic highways like the Bucktail Trail in northern Pennsylvania or explore the historic coastline of Oregon.
