For months, Jonny hitchhiked across country after country, always reaching his destination. The story became part of his identity: he was the hitchhiker who always made it. But on one long day from Istanbul to Greece, that streak finally breaks. In this episode, Jonny confronts failure, control, and what’s left when the story you’ve built around yourself begins to collapse.

Jonny is unraveling. The stories he’s told about himself are starting to fray. In this episode, he walks the parks of Brussels with Mia, who believes identity is something we weave, and flashes back to New York, where he met Goga, a wild, grounded presence living entirely outside of narrative. Goga eats from the trash, sleeps wherever he lands, and lives without planning or performance. Moved by their example, Jonny makes an impulsive choice: to sleep outside, unprotected, in the city that never sleeps. Strawberries and Blueberries is a glimpse at the possibility of life without the life story.

While on the hunt for a simple baguette in Leuven, Jonny finds himself drawn into Peggy’s world, a former belle whose dazzling days of secret lovers, high drama, and luxurious escapades now live only in faded photographs and empty jewelry drawers. Her raw, unfiltered recollections of a life once vibrant and now quietly fading, force Jonny to confront how even the most brilliant chapters eventually yield to time.

Jonny is searching. Not just for new places, but for a life that feels like his. In this episode, he drifts through Belgium, meeting two men living vastly different paths: one rooted and conventional, the other artistic and free. But neither life fits. A surreal, moonlit encounter on a hill outside Leuven reveals a third path: strange, silent, and unnamable. As the episode unfolds, Jonny grapples with the tension between motion and meaning, rhythm and rut, and wonders, what kind of life can hold both change and belonging? This is the crossroads. The place between stories. The edge before the next leap.

Jonny arrives in New York City with nothing but a backpack and a sense of uncertainty about his future. Feeling disconnected from his old identity as a musician, Jonny meets with Taz, a wild and free-spirited musician, and the two create an impromptu, raw musical collaboration in a church sanctuary. As Jonny faces his insecurities and lets go of the pressure to be "a musician," he discovers a new freedom in simply being a nobody.

Jonny is restless. Comfortable, but quietly unraveling. In this debut episode, he walks away from his home in Asheville, a steady job, and the safety of routine to hitchhike around the world with no fixed plan, no finish line, and no idea what comes next. As he stares down his own fears, talks with a seasoned hitchhiker, and finally sticks out his thumb, Jonny discovers that sometimes the scariest part of a leap isn’t the landing. It’s the letting go. This is where the journey begins: not in a new country, but in the decision to leave everything behind.

What happens when you leave behind everything familiar—and follow a question instead of a plan?

Go and Find Out is a new narrative podcast about getting lost on purpose.

Writer and musician Jonny Wright hitchhiked around the world with a journal in hand—gathering stories of love, loss, resilience, and unexpected transformation.

Told through intimate narration, original music, immersive sound, and the voices of people met along the way—this is not your average travel show.

This is a story about stepping into the unknown...and the unexpected beauty waiting there.
