Interstate Delight

Joe Queenan continues his alternative history of the United States with this special journey across the great continent.

"Alright - we're setting out now!"

This is Joe Queenan's true account of an unexpected journey, east to west, coast to coast, eating only at one particular chain of restaurant - Hooters.
And yes - Joe really did make this trip. Also includes contributions from Clive Webb of Sussex University on the origins of the highway, plus Joe's daughter on concerns about her father's choice of eating establishment.

With music by Kraftwerk and Loudon Wainwright III.

The producer in Bristol is Miles Warde
