About Book of Moron

Part wilderness field journal, part scientific inquiry, and part philosophical meditation, Book of Moron is a daily record of one man’s journey through the physical and mental landscapes of the Appalachian Trail. Following the "Walden 11" entries—numbered by each day on the trail—the podcast moves beyond simple gear talk and mileage. Instead, it dives into the "why" of the trek, exploring the biological rhythms of the human body, the complex immunology of survival, and the social dynamics of the thru-hiking community. From analyzing the "crime scenes" of our own immune systems to the logistical philosophy of town resupplies, Book of Moron treats the trail as a laboratory for understanding what it means to be human in the wild. Whether you are an aspiring thru-hiker, a student of biology, or a fan of transcendentalist thought, join us daily as we document the data of failure, the rhythm of the march, and the unpredictable reality of life in the woods.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
