EPISODE #210: THE HERMIT’S LIFE

THE HERMIT

For some of us, the only peace of mind comes in absolute solitude, in those still numerous places where the calamitous noise of our civilization is mostly kept at bay. Ask anybody who completed a long hike — such as the PCT up the Western Spine of America — what they loved most, what made it such an unforgettable time. The solitude, they will often say. The quiet. Not the absence of sound, that’s rarely what anyone means, but the absence of the sounds of civilization. That awful, unending racket.

#045: SHUTDOWNS & DATE SHAKES


What a nice holiday present for the High Desert, having the federal government collapse and leaving the Mojave’s national parks unstaffed and abandoned at the busiest time of year. Katherine Spiers, Los Angeles food writer/editor/podcast host, joins us to talk about date shakes. Get our podcast wherever you get the podcasts.
