2022/10/30

Ken chats with good friend of the podcast Julian Hough, in a followup episode to the Charley-and-Ken driving episode of a few weeks ago. Listening to that episode prompted a bunch of memories in Julian, some good, and some downright terrifying. Some of these stories sounded so good that we had to have him back on the podcast to tell them. Hear about how Julian almost met his end in a driving Molotov cocktail after a 5-day trek across India and Nepal on public transport! If you wish to support this
