At the start of 2025, after 8 years of focusing on Cities across the nation that our hosts Robert & Mary Carey have personally visited, we altered the popular “Destination Spotlight” series of the show to focus on States, doing it alphabetically. That meant Alabama was first and it occurred on Jan 18th 2025, followed by Alaska on Feb 1st, Arizona on Feb 8th, Arkansas on Mar 1st, California on Mar 29th, Colorado on Apr 26th, Connecticut on May 10th, Delaware on May 31st, Florida on Jun 14th, Georgia on Jun 21st, Hawaii on Jul 12th, Idaho on Jul 26th, Illinois on Aug 9th, Indiana on Sept 6th, Iowa was Sept 20th, Kansas on Oct 18th, Kentucky on Oct 25th and Louisiana on Nov 1st, before we turned to the “M” named States with Maine happening on Nov 22nd and Maryland on Dec 6th. Then the calendar flipped to 2026 with The Careys beginning the year traveling for 25 days on the big “Let’s Go America! Tour” – Miami to Los Angeles, that had them transiting the Panama Canal as a way to supercharge our America 250 coverage, before they picked up with Massachusetts on Jan 31st 2026, Michigan on February 7th, Minnesota on March 7th and then Mississippi on March 28th. Then came the big “Let’s Go America! Tour” – Park City, and upon returning from those Utah travels — Missouri got some show love during the April 18th 2026 live national broadcast of America’s #1 Travel Radio Show.
The “Show Me State” is America’s 24th State, admitted to the Union back in 1821. Stephen Foutes is Missouri’s Division of Tourism Director, and he connected via the Show Hotline for a high-energy, engaging and informative conversation. During the discussion, Robert & Mary covered the diversity travelers will find across Missouri with Stephen, as well as touching on some of the unique foods you’ll find in the State, they talked Route 66, the Ozarks, Silver Dollar City, the St. Louis Cardinals and Busch Stadium, upcoming America 250 celebrations and more..
