A reminder that taking your time on a trip is just as important as getting there. That the journey starts when you head out the door of your house. Warga meets some great characters on this Road Trip from Seattle to L.A. via train and bus including a cab driver who promotes industrial hemp, a soldier freaked out about going back to battle, a runaway youth. This is an experiment to not drive or fly documented in audio. Warga has a great easygoing style and the piece moves you comfortably arm-char traveling. A bit long for a feature for a news magazine show. But would do well paired up with another long piece to make a great half-hour or a one-hour special with three other similiarly themed pieces about travel or personal journeys. The SOQ out is still in the piece though and would need to be trimmed or faded out for a station to use within local programming. Definitely worth a listen and consideration....Dmae
