About this listen
Welcome back, it's been a while! This episode traces the evolution of the road genre out of the western and explores America's psychological relationship with the automobile, building from where we left off in August.
This episode did not go entirely as I planned, as along the way I became much more interested in the relationship between cars and fascism as current events have evolved.
