Dispatches Podcast No. 2: Airing on the side of humor

TORONTO — What do biofuel, truck-stop tigers, border guards snooping around canned beans and trucking association withdrawal have in common?

They’re only a few of the truck-related subjects tackled and shredded by journalists Marco Beghetto, Allan Janssen and Peter Carter in the Second Edition of our Dispatches Podast, available right now by clicking here.

You can listen at your computer or download it onto an ipod or smart phone for later in your truck. You can also get it free from iTunes; but no matter how you access the podcast, we guarantee this lively back-and-forth will make you think and smile, maybe even simultaneously.

Beghetto, Janssen and Carter are three of this country’s top trucking journalists and in this episode, they’re joined by Dave Carter (no relation), a Louisiana military hero-turned trucker and blogger who recounts with verve and wit his weird relationship with life on the highway, dumbfounding regulations and finally, a nose-to-nose border skirmish over a can of Beanie Weanies. No shades of the Blazing Saddles campfire scene here, but a story just as entertaining.

And finally, all that talk about food might whet your appetite so, when you’re done listening, you might also want to check out this delicious-sounding recipe.
