Chet Garner (The Daytripper) joins the guys on the latest podcast and discusses what it's like to travel the Lone Star State with a crew in tow, eat the finest food, and be ever so mindful of his cholesterol count. With 11 Emmy's to his credit, Chet explains what it's like to plan, prepare, and execute each episode. As sure as the motto of Texas is friendship, then Chet Garner is certainly the Texas ambassador. Vaya Con Dios our friend.

The Daytripper is a Texas travel program, hosted by Chet Garner as he travels the state with his crew.  Synopsis: "It’s no secret that Texas is big. Alright, more than big. Texas is HUGE!! And exploring Texas ain’t no small vacation, it’s a lifetime endeavor. But what if you only have one day? Well, that’s where we come in. From the well-known landmarks to the completely obscure dives and hideaways – and all within a day’s reach. Adventure is much closer than you realize. 

The series first aired on Austin's PBS station, KLRU, and was titled "The Austin Daytripper." However, the concept expanded and the show condensed its name to "The Daytripper" to have a wider appeal. The show is now produced by Hogaboom Road, Inc., a production company located in downtown Georgetown, TX that specializes in creating Texas content.

The Daytripper has aired 12 seasons. Episodes are broadcast on PBS affiliate stations in Texas and many other states around the country. They are also available for viewing online.
