In the Way of Johnny Appleseed w/ Isaac Fitzgerald

Isaac Fitzgerald, author of American Rambler: Walking the Trail of Johnny Appleseed (Penguin Random House), stops by the pod to talk about the historic figure of John Champan, Isaac’s own complex familial relationship with the outdoors, faith, and American legends. How did apples become a symbol of Americana? Bars and stadiums, and churches? Isaac’s first time getting ducked, a tradition as American as apple cider. • Isaac’s: Instagram | Website • Purchase a copy of American Rambler (out May 12!) • Dirtbag, Massachusetts: A Confessional (2022) • Johnny Appleseed • The Epic Romance of Saeed Jones and Isaac Fitzgerald — About the show: A culture podcast by two insufferable queer introverts in the South who really need to know who’s gonna be there before they commit to anything.
