Diving deeper into the Protestant literature of pilgrimage, Stealla and Jojo air their discontentment concerning the "pathological individualism" of modern sacred travel.

February 3, 2023 4:00pm

Episode 15: Camino Lore & Literature ft. Rob & Mother Teresa

In this episode, the hosts discuss and classify the pilgrim literature they have read, underscoring the contributions of their favorite authors. The music is eclectic and electric, and two special guests drops into the program, the first discusses the merriment that characterizes the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, and the second discourses on the nature of carnival.

Each metropolis has its own identity. In this episode, we discuss the way in which these identities can be monstrous, or angelic.

A caller called, too. Keywords: drifting, abandoned malls, The Nature Company, The Sharper Image, & Plasma Orbs.
