This week on the pod, Seth and Josh welcome actor Rob Benedict! Rob talks about growing up in Columbia, Missouri, as the youngest of four, entertaining himself with adventures in the woods and solo baseball games, and managing his high school basketball team. He shares memories of family road trips in a camper van to Disney World, a teenage trip to Aspen for a celebrity tennis tournament featuring Jack Nicholson and Christopher Reeve, and traveling to Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival. Rob also recounts getting hustled out of 600 euros in a Rome shell game and reflects on raising kids at different stages of life. Plus, he discusses his time at Northwestern, his work on Felicity and Supernatural, and more! Watch this episode on the Family Trips YouTube or Spotify, or listen wherever you get your podcasts!
