Episode 167: Ben McGrath author of Riverman: An American Odyssey

Embark on an enthralling exploration of one man's quest to navigate life's currents as a means of coping and finding fulfillment. On this episode we're joined by Ben McGrath, staff writer for The New Yorker and author of "The American Odyssey," who introduces us to Dick Conant, a Navy veteran whose solo canoe journey from near Canada to Florida symbolizes a broader narrative shared by many veterans today. The romance of adventure and solitude takes center stage, revealing the deeper allure and consequences of disconnecting from society. As we unravel Dick's life story, we uncover the genuine eccentricity and vulnerability that mark those rare individuals who truly live life on their own terms.
