Adam Baranski

Adam is a podcast host from Michigan. He is married and works in Transportation for his day job. Adam enjoys traveling and spending time with his partner in crime, Lauren. He also enjoys cycling and golfing and loves the whiskey industry as a hobby. He is known to visit a few distilleries along the way. As an adult, Adam started enjoying cycling, which led him to begin doing state-long rides and long all-day rides. That led him to the friendship of Micheal, the Co-Host. At first, the friendship led to more Road Adventures, and soon, the idea of telling those stories on a platform started to develop. It was at that point the podcast idea came to life. Now we share the show on the podcast platforms (Anywhere you get your podcasts), and new to 2024, we have started recording it on YouTube

Please Enjoy!
