Jim Hinckley joins Jimmy Mac and Lindsay Lawler for a full conversation about the story of Route 66, the people who shaped it, and the places you should visit on your next trip. Jim talks about the highway’s history in all eight states and the places that still hold their character today. He shares details on ghost towns, long running cafes, vintage motels, and new projects that keep the road alive.

Jim explains how Route 66 blends past and present, why younger preservation groups are stepping in, and how local efforts keep the highway relevant for travelers. He describes the rising interest in mid century style and the work being done to restore old properties, update them for modern use, and support small towns along the route.

He also talks about the new book, Route 66, 100 Years, which covers the highway state by state with stories from local experts. The book includes historic photos, maps, roadside attractions, and travel ideas for anyone planning a Route 66 trip.
