Follow along on the new adventures of David from The FredCast on YouTube!

Hey there, FredCast family! It’s David, your old cycling podcast host, and I’ve got some exciting news to share. First, let me address the elephant in the room – yes, it’s been a while since The FredCast graced your earbuds. I know I promised to return, and life had other plans. But here’s the thing: while the podcast may have gone quiet, my passion for adventure never did. It just… shifted gears.

So, what’s new? Well, everything!

We’re documenting this grand adventure on our new YouTube channel: Destinations, Dents, and Discoveries. Our tagline? “This is how WE RV.” And let me tell you, it’s been quite the ride already!

Now, I know what you’re thinking. “David, what about cycling?” Don’t worry, fellow Freds – cycling is still a HUGE part of my life, so while our channel focuses on RV living and travel, you can bet there will be two-wheeled content mixed in. After all, you can take the Fred out of the podcast, but you can’t take the Fred out me!

My wife Donna and I, along with our 100lb Labrador co-pilot Doug, have embarked on the journey of a lifetime. We’ve swapped our traditional home for a life on wheels, specifically an Airstream Flying Cloud travel trailer. Our mission? To visit every US state, every U.S. National Park, and most Canadian provinces. It’s ambitious, it’s exciting, and it’s a little bit crazy – just like attempting a century ride for the first time!

Here’s what you can expect from Destinations, Dents, and Discoveries:

1. Real, unfiltered experiences of full-time RV living
2. Breathtaking views from coast to coast (and beyond!)
3. Practical tips and how-tos for aspiring RVers and anyone who loves to travel and enjoy the great outdoors
4. The occasional cycling adventure (because some habits die hard)
5. A healthy dose of humor, humility, and the unexpected

We’re just getting started, with three episodes already available and plans to release new content weekly. Right now, we’re on an epic journey from SoCal to Alaska and back. Talk about a change of scenery from my old studio setups in L.A. and Park City!

As I sit here, typing this post from Talkeetna, Alaska, I can’t help but reflect on the incredible journey that led us here. The FredCast and The Spokesmen weren’t just podcasts – they were communities. Each of you, whether we met in person or connected through emails, tweets, or FredCast schwag orders, played a part in shaping that community. Your names bring smiles to my face and, I’ll admit, sometimes tears to my eyes.

Even if RV life isn’t your thing, I want you to know how much you all still mean to me. The support, friendship, and sense of belonging we created together have left an indelible mark on my life. It’s that same spirit of community and adventure that Donna and I are carrying forward into this new chapter.

So, here’s my invitation to you: Come along for the ride! Check out Destinations, Dents, and Discoveries on YouTube. Watch, like, subscribe, and if you’re feeling generous, share it with friends who might enjoy our adventures. We’d love to have you with us as we navigate this new path – bumps, discoveries, and all.

Thank you for being part of The FredCast family. Your support meant the world to me then, and it means just as much now as we embark on this new adventure.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that life is full of unexpected turns. Sometimes, those turns lead you to the most beautiful destinations. Here’s to new roads and the joy of discovery!

And as always, enjoy the ride!

David (and Donna, and Doug!)
