Food Travel USA with Elizabeth DoughertyAlbum: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 060826 Original Broadcast Date: 06/08/26 Most people who visit the Lincoln Memorial never know there's a room underneath it. The Undercroft, the cavernous space beneath the main chamber, was never supposed to exist at all. When workers finished the foundation in the 1910s, they discovered a hollow chamber large enough to walk through, its concrete pillars draped in stalactites formed by decades of mineral seepage from above. For most of the twentieth century the space was sealed off, forgotten, and used only for storage. Then the National Park Service began a major restoration project and the Undercroft was opened to the public for the first time. What visitors find down there is unlike anything else on the National Mall. The original construction graffiti is still on the walls. Scaffolding used during the 1960s civil rights rallies above is still stored there. The acoustics are otherworldly. And the columns holding up one of the most iconic buildings in American history stretch down into a space that feels like the subterranean foundation of the country itself. Elizabeth and the Destination Unknown team take you below the surface of American history to a place most tourists walk right over without knowing it exists. This is what the Lincoln Memorial looks like from underneath. FOOD TRAVEL USA FAST FACTS About the Show Using the chassis of a food and travel show, Elizabeth Dougherty has carved out her own lane in Talk Radio, covering the contamination of the food supply and the travel restrictions placed upon us by an overreaching government. The show also covers data protection, self-sufficiency, and homesteading-related topics to help protect us from this evil, corrupt system. With Elizabeth as the host, the show has a very different sound from the typical male-oriented talk radio. In combination with terrestrial stations that carry the show, we reach people who don't normally listen to politically-driven talk radio. In addition to the LIVE FEED of the show on Saturday afternoons from 5pm–7pm (Eastern) / 2pm–4pm (Pacific), we produce and distribute a dozen podcast segments each week.
