DIESEL, DOLLY, AND THE RAILS SOUTH
Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty
Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 060826
Original Broadcast Date: 06/08/26
Travel news this week had range. Start with the most avoidable disaster of the Memorial Day weekend: an RV driver in Montrose, Colorado dumped his black water waste tank directly into a Maverik gas station’s underground diesel supply after mistaking the diesel tank inlet for an RV dump station. The pumps shut down immediately. Cleanup crews were called. Nobody has been identified or charged. This actually happened. On a more encouraging note, Amtrak has proposed a new passenger rail corridor connecting Atlanta to Charlotte, two of the fastest growing metro areas in the Southeast with zero intercity rail service between them. The route would run approximately four hours with stops in Spartanburg and Greenville. Amtrak calls it a top expansion priority and it is currently in environmental review. Dolly Parton is opening a travel center in her hometown of Sevierville, Tennessee, with a gas station, convenience store, restaurant, and retail space themed around her life and music, developed by Dollywood’s parent company. The airline industry is moving toward a lifetime passenger ban database that would allow carriers to share misconduct records and bar unruly flyers across all participating airlines. And the State Department has expanded its Mexico travel warning with additional Level 2 advisories, even as more than 35 million Americans make the trip annually. Elizabeth puts it all in context with the straight talk the travel industry counts on from Food Travel USA.
FOOD TRAVEL USA FAST FACTS
About the Show
Using the chassis of a food and travel show, Elizabeth Dougherty has carved out her own lane in Talk Radio, covering the contamination of the food supply and the travel restrictions placed upon us by an overreaching government. The show also covers data protection, self-sufficiency, and homesteading-related topics to help protect us from this evil, corrupt system. With Elizabeth as the host, the show has a very different sound from the typical male-oriented talk radio. In combination with terrestrial stations that carry the show, we reach people who don’t normally listen to politically-driven talk radio. In addition to the LIVE FEED of the show on Saturday afternoons from 5pm–7pm (Eastern) / 2pm–4pm (Pacific), we produce and distribute a dozen podcast segments each week.
