Show Notes
There aren’t many people out there who can say they have spent 63 years on the road, but rock ’n’ roll legend Suzi Quatro is one of the few. Suzi has lived through countless eras of music, performing up and down the United States and across the globe. Sean speaks to her about her life as a touring musician and the various sounds and artists that evolved along Route 66.
Sean and Suzi chat to the manager of the Bob Dylan Centre in Tulsa, Steve Jenkins, about the huge archive on display there and the other unmissable stops in the city. They also chat to The 66 Ramblers, a rock band from Springfield, Illinois, who have been busy celebrating the highway’s centenary.

We’re nearly at the end of our journey along Route 66, but we certainly won’t be taking it easy. Joining Sean in this episode is Phoebe Schecter, an American football expert and the NFL’s first female British coach. They’ll be exploring the highway’s final state, California, and all of the sporting opportunities it has to offer.
Route 66 has long been a deeply ingrained aspect of American culture, and in this episode, Sean is joined by pop star Sinitta to explore how the road has become a symbol of the country’s identity and hope.
Route 66 is lined with some of the world’s most unmistakable artwork, and over the highway’s 100 year history, it has acted like a huge living canvas for American art. In this episode, Sean is joined by fashion, lifestyle and travel journalist and author Zoey Goto to explore the route’s striking visual identity, from glowing neon motel signs to giant roadside sculptures to folk art.
Route 66 serves up a mouth-watering taste of America, with flavours and influences from around the world. In this episode, Sean Fletcher hits the road with legendary TV chef Ainsley Harriott to explore the people, dishes and stories behind the food of the Mother Road.
When you think of Route 66, tarmac, classic cars and neon signs might be the first things that come to mind. But the Mother Road is also home to some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the United States. In this episode, legendary explorer Ray Mears joins Sean Fletcher to share his experiences of the natural wonders found along the route, as well as the unique wildlife that inhabit the US heartland.
