It’s June 20th. Tonight, it will be dark — and maybe you will go for a walk?
Jody, NIki, and Kellie are joined by Bianca Giaever, host of the podcast series “Constellation Prize,” to talk about her forays into walking at night, and her correspondence with the writer Terry Tempest Williams. They also discuss the rich social and political history of walking at night.
Be sure to check out Constellation Prize, from the Believer, wherever you get your podcasts!
