#10: Appalachian Trail and Hitchhiking: Snobs on the Road
from General Snobbery | Film and Philosophy · host General Snobbery
For this monumental, groundbreaking, unforeseen tenth episode (praise be, praise be), we travel off the beaten track of film deconstruction, endeavoring into a late-night, windy conversation in which Sean interviews Matt about his noble decision to hike the Appalachian Trail, which he is currently doing. The meditative interview traveled many interesting places, discussing such topics as Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods, Jack Kerouac’s On the Road, the importance of travel, the desire for discomfort, Sean's experiences hitchhiking the West Coast, and the ongoing desire for “transformative experiences.” We hope you enjoy this interview-turned-conversation, listener, and we hope that should you get the chance, you will travel to the ends of the earth in your search for wisdom and illumination. Praise be, praise be.
