What’s up y’all of little faith and welcome to episode 3 of the 2nd season of TFP.
I’m your host Mat Hayes, and today I have the pleasure of welcoming Andrew Evans to the show.
He’s an author, speaker, and TV host. Let me give you the rundown:
He’s completed over 60 assignments for National Geographic, reporting from all 7 continents and over a hundred different countries.
His purposeful journeys to these meaningful destinations include following an 18th century sea captain’s diary to some of the remotest islands of Polynesia, hiking 500 miles across the kingdom of Jordan, and riding public transportation on a 12,000 mile overland trip to Antartica.
He’s a contributor to National Geographic, BBC Travel, The Boston Globe, and The Chicago Tribune. He’s the author of 5 books, including his award winning memoir, The Black Penguin, as well as his bestselling guidebooks to Iceland and Ukraine. We’ll talk a lot about his thoughts on the current war being fought there.
And for the sake of this podcast’s relevance, he’s a gay-identifying, former Mormon!
Get ready for one of the most intellectual conversations I’ve had on this show!
Welcome to the podcast, Andrew!
