Pretty much the same as every other episode, but different. 
Episode 11 keeps things rolling on the gravel with plenty of listener interaction and community energy. We highlight recent comments from listeners, including a shoutout to Bob Anderson, who chimed in.
We also take some time to review the Polar Bear Pod. And of course, no episode would be complete without opening up the Chargers Fan Line. 
Max Melted Down. 
It’s another mix of conversation, community, and connection—all straight from the gravel roads we call home.

Ep. 10 - (AUDIO ONLY) - THE UNPREPARED PODCAST - Long weekend - Ketchup valves are a nightmare - Zucchini sucks - Pizza

This episode of Gravel Roads Radio is a food-lover’s ride with a sports twist. Right from the start, the crew dives deep into pizza talk—debating toppings, crust styles, and which local spots deserve the crown.

Sports are never far from the table, and the guys weave in takes on current games and local teams between bites of fair food talk. It’s a lively mix—half tailgate chatter, half county-fair food review.
The standout moment? The now-legendary Ketchup Meltdown. Whether you’re laughing at the heated condiment debate or shaking your head at the chaos, it’s a highlight that ties together the food-heavy, fun-loving vibe of the episode.
