“Arizona Podcast” shares the Arizona Route 66 travel adventures of Chris and Mary, longtime visitors and now semi-retired transplants to Arizona who journey the highways and backroads of the Main Street Of America in the Grand Canyon state. They hope the podcast will aid other transplants in discovering what Arizona has to offer. In addition to those newly arriving, it may help those that have lived here for years in either discovering or re-discovering these gems. Chris and Mary, along with their guests do their best to inspire curiosity to explore all of Arizona and what the state has to offer.
