391 - Chris McCandless ; 'Into The Wild'

In the early 90's, having just graduated from College, Chris McCandless packed a bag and took off on a roadtrip. He spent the next couple of years travelling, and his story has become something of a modern legend, particuarly in the USA. This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 05:00 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
