Across the DinerVerse
Searching for the heart and soul of America one diner at a time! Podcast host, John Murphy, travels to diners across the U.S.A. interviewing everyday people about their lives, their community and how they feel about America--the good, the bad and the ugly! Through casual conversations over comfort food, Murphy aims to find out if we're truly a divided nation on the verge of self-destruction or are we a country worth fighting for because we're more similar than we are different? Murphy is an Emmy-winning writer and producer and spent more than two decades hosting morning-drive radio shows in markets such as Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle and Portland.
