With this musical edition of our Destinations series, veteran professional driver and accomplished musician Long Haul Paul Marhoefer is our featured guest. As you will hear, Long Haul Paul will be previewing the Thanksgiving Day release of his new album, Floodwaters & Fires. During our interview with Long Haul Paul, he recalls the near-death experience he endured while running over the road on Christmas Eve in 2023. As Paul shares, that moment of near tragedy served as the inspiration to record a collection of original works and cover songs, including Adam Carroll’s Highway Prayer and Leonard Cohen’s Bird On A Wire.

Floodwaters & Fires, with a tone and overall feel that is reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska, is a true masterwork from Long Haul Paul, who began his professional recording career in his mid-50s. As you will hear, the podcast conversation takes listeners inside the process of making the album, discussing the songs and much more. This episode also features full-length previews of four original LHP songs that are a part of Floodwaters & Fires, including Four Million Miles Deep, a powerful ode that looks back at the life of a fellow driver.
