About this episode
The episode explores kitesurfing in the Western Sahara while discussing isometric training and geopolitical themes.
Our co-host finds himself in the Western Sahara, the disputed and very deserty region to the South of Morocco. He’s there to kitesurf; conditions in Dakhla are perfect. The water’s flat, the wind is up, the people are hospitable, the food is excellent, and barren wilderness extends for hundreds of miles in every direction. Our other co-host challenges his life decisions, and feigns interest in the local political and economic situation before focusing on the main topics at hand: the importance of isometric training, and England’s place under US hegemony.
