Never mind the narrative detour – or the bollocks – but I'll be blathering on Chris Christensen’s Amateur Traveler podcast April 19th.
National Geographic Traveler gave the show a nod, while Men's Journal declared it “one of the four best adventure travel podcasts.” And the host hand-codes his own RSS feed. Really, does moonlight-journalism get more hard-core? I think not.
Chris struck me as tremendously smart, kind and funny: the kind of bloke you'd buy a beer or three. Now I wish I'd chattered less about minigolf, Krapina Man, bomb craters, diamond inlays and wormwood wine in Croatian truck stops – not to mention the attack-alpaca – and that I'd drawn out a few of his own stories.
Guess I'll just have to turn the tables and interview him one of these days...
yeah, but did you share that final pack of grapefruit gum when you found it? oh, no, of course not.
ReplyDeleteand just for the record, i don't think i was contemplating ramones t-shirts at that point. i'm pretty sure i was wondering how i was ever going to get back out of that canyon, and why on earth i was in boonies croatia so soon after having heart surgery.
because grapefruit gum really is that good.
if you can find somebody who shares.
Bi-atchin' interview, Amanda!
ReplyDeletePS- Will check to see if grapefruit gum is available here in the herring belt.
ERH: I might yet share the final pack of grapefruit gum, which I've been hoarding ... IF you're nice to me.
ReplyDeleteDB: Ta – I haven't been able to listen yet. I need to download some program ... plus I'm slightly embarrassed...
