S1E24: Texas Adventures, Oklahoma City, and The Country That Doesn’t Exist

Nov 11

In this episode of the Attempt Adventure Podcast, host Michael Desrosiers shares his summer adventures, and discusses with cohost James Barrett about how to find adventures even where you don't expect to find them.

Michael spent the summer visiting his family in the US. His adventures took him through the Texas outdoors, up to Oklahoma City, and to the United States' only traditional Vietnamese rice liquor distillery.
