Cult Favorite

Wild, Wild, Country Part 2


Listen Later

This week, the long and winding road to Oregon presents

even more paths. We make pit stops in Germany, Australia, and India, ultimately landing on a back road in the Deep South for some boiled peanuts. Along the way, we talk about relationships and betrayals—big hopes, broken hearts, and new beginnings. In the end, the Rajneeshees lose their leader but not their cause, a few people spend some years in prison, and the townspeople of Antelope put a plaque near their post office. Perspectives abound, as do our conversational bloopers. Have a laugh and think a thought with us in Part 2 of our discussion of Wild, Wild Country.
