A Clock in the Wilderness

Everybody is a little lost this week. With Clare Marie gearing up for a performance, Peter searches for a clear signal in the Puget Sound while Jimmy Mac takes a break from broadcasting at The American Truck Historical Society's truck show in Missouri. This brings up the topic of getting lost while on a schedule. Late for work, expected at an important event, or any time people are counting on you to arrive on time adds the additional anxiety of not only not knowing where you are but also the prospect of letting yourself or others down. Somehow this throws our adventurous podcasters into the sea, with Peter lost in a fog bank off the shores of Nantucket. And in the midst of it all, a young lady named Lilly ends up at Jimmy's conference booth looking for a little swag. If you're lost, listening will clarify everything.

The Dogs of Kilimanjaro

Fresh off a Kilimanjaro hike for a worthy cause, veteran and Sierra Delta founder BJ Ganem joins Peter and Jimmy for a conversation about adventure, purpose, and the strange ways we find our bearings in life. Drawing on his deep passion for our four-legged companions, BJ explores how man’s best friend may also be the best safeguard against ever truly getting lost. Along the way, Peter travels across Canada with a dog sled team, while Jimmy reflects on why sharing your life with a pet might be the closest thing we get to a preview of heaven.

You May Find Yourself...

From “The D.H. Lawrence Room” in a New Mexico hotel, Peter joins Jimmy for a conversation that begins as a continuation of their discussion about contingencies for getting lost, before drifting somewhere stranger and more transcendent—into the idea of abandoning past and future entirely in order to exist fully within the immediate wilderness.

Lost Contingencies

It isn't an adventure without the risk of being lost. Accepting that reality could be the difference between life and death. Peter and Jimmy discuss the difference between being lost with a plan versus the terror that comes with realizing you have no way home.

We Lost It at the Movies

Jimmy and Peter head into Hollywood’s treacherous development hell with returning guest Michael Punke, author of The Revenant, and celebrated screenwriter Tab Murphy (Gorillas in the Mist). What begins as a conversation about screenwriting and adaptation opens into something deeper: mountain men, Jeremiah Johnson, the creative power of empty places, and the value of stripping a story down to its bare essentials. Along the way, they kick around the question of whether's America’s independent spirit began with a man in buckskins trying to sell a beaver pelt?
