Luke Russert is an experienced writer and news correspondent, but he was just 22 years old when his father, the respected television anchor Tim Russert, passed away. To help cope with his grief, he did what many Americans do when they need to find themselves: He hit the road.
The younger Russert’s three-and-a-half-year, 60 country journey would serve as the inspiration for his memoir, Look For Me There, which was published in May of 2023 and went on to become a New York Times best seller.
In the latest episode of the DRIVE podcast, Russert chats with Ford CEO Jim Farley about the power of the open road, some of his favorite road trips, and a life lived for better and worse in the shadow of his father’s legacy.
