The idea for the Back Roads Banter podcast was first thought up 13 years ago by host, Melissa Plett. Like some great ideas, the time never seemed right. But, if we've learned anything from the current pandemic situation, the time will never be right!

So, with the help of a few friends, the pilot episode of BRB was finally released on June 29th, 2020. Since then, we've visited several small towns, each as impressive as the last!

We hope you enjoy the podcast, and if you fancy yourself a storyteller, sign up to be a potential guest! You never know, we might just visit your town!

About the Show

Back Roads Banter is the podcast for those who enjoy discovering new people, places, and things! Focusing on small towns (because c'mon, they never get enough credit), our aim was to find the hidden gems that make each place so unique!

Each episode will explore 1 small town in North America, and we'll find out what makes it so great by talking to those who know best: the locals.

Since travel is limited at the moment, we thought "what better time than now" to bring travel back to our listeners!

Big things can happen anywhere, even on a small town, back roads podcast...
