22 | Tom Turcich - The World Walk

Season 1 · Episode 22

Sunday, November 3, 2024 • Duration 39:01

Tom Turcich is the 10th person to walk around the world, and his loyal companion - Savannah - made history as the first dog to walk around the world. She offered a constant presence that helped fill the all-too-common void of isolation and loneliness as he walked over 28,000 miles over a seven year period across six continents. There were no motors and no pedals, just deliberate, human-powered exploration on foot into the unknown over 28,000 miles over a seven year period across six continents.

His recent book, The World Walk, is more than just an account of this adventure; it offers a unique perspective, not just as a traveler, but as a witness to the raw, unfiltered essence of humanity. It’s a profound narrative about resilience, connection, and dismantling pre-conceived notions about the people and cultures along the way, and above all, it highlights the unbreakable bond, and the unspoken understanding, between a man and his dog.

16 | Nicole Heker - Unlearning by Bike

Season 1 · Episode 16

Sunday, December 10, 2023 • Duration 55:55

During her studies at Penn State, a Sociology professor told Nicole Heker to "unlearn everything you know" during a lecture in order to form opinions of other cultures through first-hand experience. She took this to heart and set off on a cycling trip in 2018 from Thailand to Spain, crossing through the Middle East on the Pamir Highway.

She has experienced the highest of highs, directing non-profit charities in Nepal to help impoverished children, as well as the lowest of lows after dodging a terrorist attack from ISIS in Turkmenistan.

We explore the concept of "unlearning," her cycling adventures, her venture into a medicinal herb farm, and more.

Season 1 · Episode 15

Monday, November 6, 2023 • Duration 40:07

Ian Borowski is an adventure filmmaker based out of Fairbanks, Alaska.

Journal Entry 02 | Wilderness Survival

Monday, October 16, 2023 • Duration 10:27

We hear stories all too often of people who venture into the wilderness and don't make it out alive. Instead of chastising these people, I want to take a particular example from an article someone sent me and learn from it. A woman was hiking along the Appalachian Trail, got lost and didn't survive, despite only being a few hundred yards away from where rescue teams were looking for her. I want to break down what she did well, and where did she ultimately fall short.
