Appalachian Trail

from Go Atlanta Hosted by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

This week's story is about a unique journey, one less than 15,000 people have ever completed. Beginning on Springer Mountain, the Appalachian Trail is about 2,180 miles and runs through 14 states, spanning from northern Georgia to Maine. Hiking it is equivalent to climbing Mount Everest 16 times. AJC features writer Bo Emerson and CNN editor Andrew Iden have both hiked parts of the trail. In this episode, they come together to reminisce. You will hear from trail angels, hiking champions, and some of the journalists who participated in a remarkable 1995 collaborative through-hike. Plus, host Shane Harrison shares things to do during the next 10 days, including the 11th annual Taste of Chamblee.

Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011. Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia )
