50 States in the Rearview
Fifty States
Endless Stories.
One Open Road.
The podcast focused on uncovering the grit, soul, and history of America through it’s state capitols.
Forget the standard tourist traps and the rushed checklists. 50 States in the Rearview is a podcast for the curious traveler—the ones who know that the best stories aren’t just found at the destination, but in the miles it takes to get there. Throw it in drive, roll the windows down, and let’s explore what makes this country tick, one capitol building at a time.
Why We Hit the Road
Because you haven’t truly seen the country until you’ve watched it fade away in the rearview mirror.
History with Heart
We dig past the dry textbook facts to find the real narratives, fierce grit, and unexpected human stories behind every state capitol.
Built for the Road
A celebration of the classic solo road trip. It’s about the confidence found behind the wheel, the quiet moments of clarity between mile markers, and the freedom of the highway.
Accessible Adventure
You don’t need an international passport or a massive budget to find something incredible. True discovery is waiting right in our own backyards—all it takes is an open mind and a full tank of gas.
Driven by Curiousity
I’m Erin, host of 50 States in the Rearview. I’ve spent the last 5 years visiting every state capitol in the country to uncover the stories that define us. Now, I’m launching a podcast that uses those capitols as a compass to explore the grit, history, and hidden detours of the American road. My goal isn’t just to tell my story—it’s to ignite a new generation of curiosity and prove that you don’t need a passport to find a life-changing adventure; you just need a map and the spark to start the engine.
