Welcome to Out Driving

A quick introduction to the show: the drives worth taking, the people worth riding along with, and the questions worth asking. New stories every couple of weeks. Press play, then follow wherever you listen.

The Series

Three ways down the same road.

One feed, three kinds of episode. However you like to travel, there is a way in.

Milestones

The things worth rating. Road trips, destinations, cars, and gear, judged by the Out Driving Milestone diamond and awarded sparingly.

Keepsakes

The company you keep. Conversations with the drivers, makers, and wanderers whose lives run on the road, and what each one leaves you with.

Postcards

The road, in your words. Listener stories and questions from wherever you are.

A note on the voice: the narrated essays use an AI version of Robert's own voice, so the writing stays unhurried and consistent. The interviews are his, in the room, unedited. It is still his voice either way, and we would rather say so.

Season One

The episodes.

Milestones

A road trip, rated end to end
