The Friendly Empire

I return to the United States for the first time since moving away and quickly remember what America does—and doesn’t—feel like. Jonathan continues hitchhiking toward Canada, collecting stories that range from deeply moving to completely bizarre: strangers who pray for him, unexpected generosity, Native ceremonies, truck stops, and conversations that reveal just how differently people experience the same country. Two very different journeys through America, happening at the same time.Follow Jonathan Wiest's journey hitchhiking across the United States on Instagram @jonathqn.wPlease show some support for the podcast and get access to some extra content by subscribing to the Patreon page: http://www.patreon.com/onefjefInstagram: @onefjefpodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/onefjefpodTikTok: @onefjefpodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@onefjefEmail: [email protected] can also call the podcast and leave a voicemail at 1-669-241-5882 and I will probably play it on the air.Thank you for listening, please do it again, and then blow it up.Onefjef is produced, edited & hosted by Jef Taylor.
