We are one week out from our yearly pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago, and to mark the occasion, Stella & Jojo crack jokes, listen to tunes, and reflect on their love of this pilgrimage broadcast program.

Diving deeper into the Protestant literature of pilgrimage, Stealla and Jojo air their discontentment concerning the "pathological individualism" of modern sacred travel. Fear not: things are not as heavy as this description make them out to be! The show reaches even further heights of merriment when our old friend & OSGH member Addison phones-in to discuss the art of travel. We chat about times past (Myrtle Beach vacations!), expectations about the Camino, and how to improvise a new pair of pants while on the road.

Our next pilgrimage is on the immediate horizon, so we get serious about preparation. How do you actually go about making friends with spirits (or humans!)? When is preparation liberating, and when is it restricting? We come up with some answers - but who knows, we may change our minds next week.

Stella is solo for the first hour, diving deep into 90s music and a new pilgrimage about Hildegard von Bingen. After getting into cosmic eggs and medieval fish lore, Just Sarah joins and conversation turns to road trips and the tyranny of time.

We talk the history of the history of the Camino (meta!), pilgrim graffiti, and being your best self as part of pilgrimage confraternity - which means figuring out what your worst self is, and trying to turn up for it. Or something.

Stella & Jojo improvise the lecture they will deliver to an honorable society. Since they are both riffing, they end up disclosing what they *really* think about pilgrimage, powerspots, travel, and sacred art.

Ever dream of running away with the circus? We have, and talk about it on this show, along with medieval puppets, and the value of bringing your own trumpet to riots.

There is a library of books devoted to the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. More than anyone could ever read in a couple of lifetimes... and that is only counting the English language texts! 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.

New Year's Day is the most holy day for our religious confraternity, the Order of St. George's Horse. This episode opens with some reflections on the way in which members of the Order celebrate, and some comments on our own ritual festivities.

It's an all-out pre-New Year's New Year's party in the studio, as we are joined by guests Crom, Elvis, and Just Sarah. We discuss ways to make the new year as auspicious as possible and, just as importantly, as fun as it can be.

The much-anticipated XMAS special. Much merriment, jokes, & goofs.

How does photography undermine the authentic travel experience? How can it help access deeper dimensions of the road? To answer these questions & more we turn to our friends in the Order of St. George's Horse, Steve H. & Jesse U.-O.

This episode we are joined by Allen + Nathan of San Jose's Camino Brewing Co. to discuss the importance of good drinks + good cheer on the road. We also explore sacred geography and how the past and present collide on pilgrimage.

A rogues' gallery of guest joined us live, at the studio, to gab about pleasure gardens, Emperor Norton, & the cryptocreatures that inhabit San Francisco. Music is all Halloween themed & spooky.

Initially, we intended on discussing the book, "100 Places to Visit Before You Die." However, our attention was swiftly diverted by other topics related to pilgrimage. We had two guests too, Steve Hwang (talking about his recent trip to Northern Pakistan) and Tasha Dawson (talking about her trip to Paris). Both members of the OSGH.

This week we discuss choices, big and small, and the inner and outer guides that one can tune in to as they make such decisions. Inspired by bouncy 90s house music, we also discuss the true wisdom of supervillains when it comes to trying to end the world.

This week Stella muses on whether pilgrimages are by nature religious, and then is joined by special guest Sarah H. to discuss the weirdo world of traveling alone, office jobs in outer space, and the guidebook scam.
