The Train-Hopping Poets

Episode 1 // The Train-Hopping Poets On this first episode of "This Exonian Life," we have brothers Kai and Anders Carlson-Wee. Their documentary film, Riding the Highline, chronicles a freight-hopping trip the two took in 2015 from Minnesota to the Cascade Mountains. They sat down to talk with us in February to talk about their love of in-line skating, how they first began writing poetry, tips and tricks they shared about freight-hopping, and their disastrous first attempt at making the film! Check out the the movie and the brothers' poetry at ridingthehighline.com.
