Get ready to experience the American West like never before with the Via Podcast, presented by AAA Northern California, Nevada and Utah (AAA NCNU) as an expansion of its award-winning print and digital magazine.
"AAA members have long treasured Via magazine's exceptional travel content," said Brian MacAdam, chief marketing officer for AAA NCNU. "Bringing Via to life in podcast form creates new avenues for our members—and all listeners—to be inspired by our award-winning content."
The podcast is hosted by AAA Arizona's Michelle Donati and Mitti Hicks. Donati, a proud Arizona native and long-time AAA spokesperson, joins Hicks, a travel journalist and Via contributor whose wanderlust was sparked by childhood road trips to the West.
"Memories of the golden hues of the desert with the green accents of cacti are tattooed in my brain more than 25 years later," Hicks said. "I didn't know then that traveling to the West was my first introduction to travel—a passion that is the core of my existence."
Through interviews with experts and locals from every corner of the American West, Donati and Hicks take listeners to the very essence of each destination, weaving together travel insights and unforgettable tales. The podcast will also feature stories and recommendations from listeners and AAA members.
"Whether you’re listening from the comfort of your couch, your morning commute, or on the road, the Via podcast promises to be good company," said Dave Beasing, CEO of Sound That BRANDS, producer of the podcast.
