Our Australian friend Erk is taking a two-month long trip across the U.S. Last week, he stopped in San Luis Obispo for a few days to visit. Erk produces several podcasts, one of which is called Erk Pod. During Erk’s second day here, we drove around in his rental Jeep and recorded an episode of Erk Pod. Normally, I don’t like to syndicate other peoples’ content. But given my history of doing mobile recordings (and the fact that Shawnogram grew out of my old audio blog which was all mobile recordings), I’ve decided to add this episode of Erk Pod to the Shawnogram feed. Here’s a few pictures I took during Erk’s time here:
Erk searching the Internet at Best Buy, using an Apple laptop.
Erk and Jen at Mother’s Tavern during karaoke.
You can see a couple more pictures here and many more at the entries linked above. The original entry for this Erk Pod episode can be found here. Also, we recorded an epic podcast of our own with Erk which can be found here.

At one point you were talking about drive-up restaurants. You don’t have a Sonic in San Luis? It is a huge modern hamburger chain in Texas where you drive up, order through a speaker and a server brings out your order. Enjoyed the show. Very interesting audio tour.

I was more than happy for Shawno to have this as a Shawnogram episode. The original plan was for Shawno & I to walk around SLO (Echo/Shawnogram style) but it was raining. We ended up covering more ground anyway which was cool.

Never been to a Sonic, Nathan. According to the company’s website, their nearest restaurants are in the Bakersfield area, which is several hours away.

Oh, that looks so much fun! And Panda Express is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants.
