Zoey Goto: Cars, creativity and canvas

Route 66 is lined with some of the world’s most unmistakable artwork, and over the highway’s 100 year history, it has acted like a huge living canvas for American art. In this episode, Sean is joined by fashion, lifestyle and travel journalist and author Zoey Goto to explore the route’s striking visual identity, from glowing neon motel signs to giant roadside sculptures to folk art. They chat to sculptor Mark Cline, who has dedicated his recent career to creating Muffler Men, giant fibreglass statues that line Route 66. And they pay a visit to Galena in Kansas, where they chat to mural painter Sandra Dawn, who’s been creating some special work to mark 100 years of Route 66.
