About this listen

In this wide-ranging and wildly entertaining episode, Ron reconnects with his longtime friend Michael Penhallow to trace a life-spanning friendship that begins on an Israeli kibbutz in 1981 and winds through banana fields, desert hitchhiking, heartbreak, art, and everything in between.


From feeding attack dogs and dodging machine guns to discovering poetry, collecting German expressionism, and getting held at gunpoint (multiple times), this is a story about the strange alchemy of friendship—how two wildly different lives can crash together, split apart, and circle back again.


Also: the world's best beer, a possibly illegal camel, and a few near-death moments courtesy of the American highway.
