Not Lost Chat: Where Am I? (Jessica Nabongo & Tegan and Sara)

About this episode

Brendan discusses travel with Jessica Nabongo and touring experiences with Tegan and Sara.

Brendan talks with Jessica Nabongo, the author of “The Catch Me if You Can: One Woman’s Journey to Every Country in the World” about the mysterious community of “country counters” and the non-mysterious eurocentricity of most travel media. Then Canadian pop duo Tegan and Sara talk about surviving life on tour, plus answer your burning questions about road trips (good), bed and breakfasts (bad), and guided tours (you’ll just have to listen to find out.)
