Show Notes

What's up to my quintessential quetzals and meritorious margays! Welcome to the BNP beloved listeners and thanks so much for tuning in.

This episode I'm joined by my good friend, hermano de otra madre, and traveling compatriot Jonathan Glowacki to discuss, reminisce and digest our recent travails thru the magnificent country of Guatemala.

This episode is momentous for several reasons, not the least of which is that it features the BNP's first ever Saunacast, where Jonathan and I record a deeply psychedelic segment during the 4th round of a serious sauna sesh at over 200° F (94° C). My trusty moderately intelligent rare earth device lasted about 10 minutes before succumbing to the heat and abruptly cutting off the segment. Still, it's a vibe.

Jonathan then tells the harrowing tale of his highly unregulated, nearly fatal motorcycle tour thru the dusty roads and precipitous cliffs of the Guatemalan highlands, and that reminiscence leads to a discussion of what makes Guatemalan society hit so different from life in the empire.

Two differences in societal approach really stand out: approaches to mitigating (or rather NOT mitigating) risk, and the lack of slavish adherence to this demonic thing we empire babies call "convenience." Convenience for convenience's sake is a curse, not a blessing, and spending time in a place like Guatemala really drives this home.

We also chat about the wild (also highly unregulated- do you detect a pattern) DIY boat rides between the pueblos nestled on the shore of Lake Atitlan, active volcanoes popping off outside Antigua, military controlled neighborhoods in Guatemala City and much more.

So fire up your baby jeeter, pop open a monkfruit sweetened grape soda (or whatever the f***), kick up your toes and enjoy the ride! Please keep your mind and thoughts decidedly *outside* the carriage while the audio ride is in motion. Welcome to Guatemala.
