Early in his trip, George stumbled into the small town of Harmony, MN.  He was looking for a good meal, he found a lot more.

The entire pandemic road trip that George took began as a way for him to spend the summer as a trout bum.  In episode 3, we listen in as George returns to those roots.

The entire pandemic road trip George took that began as a way for him to spend the summer as a trout bum. “Keeping Track” is  George’s story about the people he found across the country trying hard to keep track of our past.

“Center of Things” Episode 6 in George’s pandemic roadtrip demonstrates what’s at the heart of Unplugged America . . . and announces Charley’s first, and so far only, unplugged accessory.

“Home” is the seventh and closing episode in George’s Pandemic Road Trip. Yet the story doesn’t end here.  It is a chronicle that carries on in the hearts and souls of the people George has shared with us and lives in the memories we have built through his telling.
