  • Summary

  • In this episode, award-winning writer and artist Ben Hatke shares his latest adventure: a pilgrimage back home. Inspired by Phileas Fogg’s “Around the World in 80 Days,” Ben embarked on a bold plan to circumnavigate the globe using (almost) only surface transportation. With the historical precedents set by Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland, Ben talks about how modern challenges impact such a journey. His adventure started by leaving one door of a Virginia farmhouse kitchen... and will end when he walks in the other door.

    In our conversation, Ben and Joan talk about how modern-day transportation has reshaped our perception of distance and time, the need to document his journey with the desire for introspection, and travel's unexpected gifts and surprises. Come along as Ben prepares to embrace the discomforts of the road as adventures, inspired by the wisdom of G.K. Chesterton, and get ready to hear all about a pilgrimage... back home.
