Stella and Jojo were walking the Holy Road this week, and in their stead they programmed some Camino music. Enjoy!

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.
