Episode 1

S1 E1: The first episode sees Billy travel from Chicago to Seattle on the mighty Empire Builder. Travelling from East to West, across 6 states Billy stops off to witness a true slice of Americana at the Minnesota State Fair, where giant butter sculptures, corn beauty pageants and live animal births are just some of the bamboozling entertainment on offer! He tackles a world famous juicy lucy burger in Saint Paul before skirting the badlands of North Dakota to experience the highs and lows of an oil boom town. He'll marvel at the thousand upon thousand acres of uninterrupted prairieland before arriving at Montana's answer to Glasgow, Scotland. This is small town America in all its glory. A land of cowboys and ranching families who have worked these lands for generations. Billy's journey's end is in windswept Seattle - not in the glamorous tech city but Tent City, Seattle's unique answer to homelessness; here Billy is moved by the tales of its residents.
