A Long Cold Trip: Why Did Juan Drive For 6+ Hours For Basically No Reason?
About this episode
Juan has just lived through my worse nightmare. He is a brave (and foolish) man!
In Episode #297 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: why I didn't become a video podcast sensation back in 2006, Juan's failed adventure to go to the zoo, my intimate Colombian dinner with a new friend, why a flat tire caused me to slow down and get a new perspective of a familiar place, the over-the-top assertiveness of Andrew Tate and a plug for our V4V themed episode.
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
