## Resource

In this episode, recorded from Goose Creek, South Carolina, Tom gives his first proper update from America. He shares his thoughts on American drivers, gives a shoutout to his friend James and his son, and talks about his plans to head to Charleston before driving six hours to Tennessee to meet his friend David. Tom also reveals he’ll be heading to Washington D.C. soon, where he’s most looking forward to visiting the JFK Presidential Library. He explains why he believes John F. Kennedy was the last decent Democrat America ever had — because he still had common sense. A laid-back catch-up episode straight from the road. See you next week, keeper.
