In this edition of the #ArizonaPodcast we talk with author and podcaster Jim Hinckley, a man that, if not already labeled.. should be considered one of the ultimate authorities on the Mother Road… Route66. We’ll learn more about Jim Hinckley’s America, his written, audio and video adventures and take a peek at what’s in the future. If you haven’t picked up on it over the past podcast’s… I cant wait for the Route 66 Centennial in 26’. Mary and I are in the beginning stages of securing location along the mother road here in AZ for live podcasts as well as recording interviews with the experts for shows for the future so far, Winslow, Williams and Kingman have graciously agreed to host us for these podcasts and we seriously cant wait. If you googled my guest Jim Hinckley it would tell you everything… well almost.. Jim Hinckley is an internationally acclaimed author, lecturer, historian, tour guide, and tour development consultant with three primary areas of expertise; Route 66, the American southwest and the American automobile industry between 1885 and 1980. Trust me, the list of other titles and area’s of expertise can go on. I have to tell you, as a big route66 buff, talking to Jim today, is equivalent to Lil Charlie Bucket walking into Bill’s Candy Shop in search of the golden ticket.

Williams is a city in northern Arizona on The Mother Road, Historic Route-66. It sits at about 6,800 feet in elevation, covers about 44 square miles and has a population of over 3,200. It's best known as the "Gateway To The Grand Canyon" National Park via the Grand Canyon Railway.

In this edition of the Arizona Podcast we spotlight being the "Gateway To The Grand Canyon", the city of Williams and another "Moment with the Mayor" as we share time with the honorable John W Moore, mayor of Williams Arizona. This is one small town that has way too much to do and see in just one day. From the Grand Canyon, the Grand Canyon railway and taking the kids to see sights like Bearizona. We learn the history of the great town and the people that keep it going.

Kingman Arizona Guest: Josh Noble | Arizona Route 66

The City of Kingman is a city along Route 66, in northwestern Arizona. Elevation of 3,333 and a populations of 30,000. The historic Mother road and the role of Kingman is most certainly part of American history and is celebrated at the Route 66 Museum set inside the Powerhouse Visitors Center. Murals, Dioramas and a library at the Mohave Museum of History and Arts traces local history. Locomotive Park, featuring old Locomotive 3759 a 1928 steam engine, and the Kingman Railroad Museum documents the city's past as a 20th-century railway hub. 
I had an awesome discussion with Josh Noble, tourism services manager for the City of Kingman. He is a walking-talking database about the City of Kingman Arizona! Normally I would give my input of the Cities I visit and some notable must see's... This show.... I just let Josh run loose as he is so much more knowledgable than I about this than I will ever be... Enjoy everything and be sure to tell any and all of the locations you visit that you heard about it on Arizona Podcast!

Winslow Arizona And A Moment With Mayor Cano | Arizona Route 66

Winslow Arizona - The City of Winslow AZ is a small town with big adventures that incorporated by in 1900. Just about 100 miles west of the New Mexico border on Interstate 40. Sits at just under 5,000 ft in elevation and covers just about 13 square miles in area. Winslow is home to a multitude of attractions including a stop on the mother road! Winslow Topics: "Standing On The Corner Park" made famous by the band the eagles in 1972 with their hit song “Take It Easy”. The park was created by the city back in 1999 to add to the magic of the city of Winslow. Its estimated that over 100,000 people visit this site. The hotel La Posada is a must to see and a must stay if you’re in the area built back in the 1920’s its iconic and after its renovation, has become one of the top hotels in the southwest. Set in a restored railroad hotel built by the Santa Fe Railway, this beautiful southwestern-style hotel lies next to the Winslow Amtrak station. McHood park and Clear Creek are a must as well. If you stay close to town and want a nice cold one, can I suggest a stop in the relic-road brewing company? Fried Pickles are on the menu. If you’re not going to make a stop at the majestic Painted Desert and Petrified Forest east of Winslow I would encourage you to drive just north of Winslow to the little painted desert park. The Meteor Crater, IS the best preserved meteor crater site on earth. Don’t forget to take the old way to get there by stopping by Meteor City, it has its very own exit off I-40 at exit 239 from the east or west and is home to the now closed but roadside photo worthy, Meteor City Trading post. Movie trivia, this site was Used in the movie Starman back in 84’ when Starman meets Mark Sherman from SETI. 
A Moment With The Mayor: Roberta "Birdie" Cano | Very excited to share Moment with the mayor on the Arizona Podcast. This podcast features the Honorable Roberta "Birdie" Cano, Mayor of Winslow Arizona. We’ll get the latest news about her city from the standing on the corner park to the important roll Route 66 has played and continues to play today for the city of Winslow and plans to celebrate the Centennial of the mother Road in 2026!
