“Arizona Podcast” shares the Arizona Route 66 travel adventures of Chris and Mary, semi-retired Chaplains who journey the Mother Road and the backroads of the Main Street Of America in the Grand Canyon state. They hope their Podcast and Vodcast will inspire Route 66 roadtrips not only from across the the nation but fellow Arizonians discovering what State 48 has to offer. Chris and Mary, along with their guests, do their best to inspire curiosity to explore all of Arizona Route 66 and what the people, places and events have to offer.
A little more about Chris:
Chris spent most of his 30 year broadcast career in major market Country Radio in Southern California before semi retirement here in Arizona. He was involved in all facets of the radio industry; from On-Air, Music, Programming, Engineering, Operations, Sales and ending his long career as a VP/GM of a small cluster of station in Southern California. He started podcasting a few years ago and created the “On The Interstate Radio Network” providing travelers with his podcast and an internet radio station. Chris brings his many years in broadcasting to the Arizona Podcast to aid him in the schedules, hosting, interviews, programming and the audio/technical production of this new venture. He considers himself a “semi-retired Chaplain” meaning; old Chaplains never really retire and is still serving when needed. You can still see him performing wedding ceremonies in California and Arizona.
Chris is available for radio and podcast interviews to discuss Arizona Route 66 and it’s Centennial in 2026, traveling the Mother Road, Must-See highlights and some hidden gems still available to all road warriors. CLICK HERE to request information.
A little more about Mary:
Mary adds her many years of people skills and public speaking experience to the podcast. Her years as a franchise and small business owner, dance instructor, contracts administrator and wedding celebrant add to her storytelling ability and love for backroad travels and excitement adds to the success to the podcast. She stays busy with her other passion of sewing and tailoring and offers her services in the Mohave Valley area with Stitch and Mimi. You won’t find her far away for being the Mimi she loves to be to her four grandchildren.
Chris and Mary enjoy traveling the backroads and learning more and more about the state they now plan to retire in and make friends wherever they go! There are planning many podcasts and are hoping to do a few live shows/recordings along their travels. Stay tuned and thanks for listening!
