About this listen

In this special podcast episode presented by the Botstiber Institute, we hear stories of adventures from the life of Eduard Medinger. As a teenager in 1860s Austria, Eduard was full of eager anticipation to experience the world beyond his home in Central Europe.

In part one of two, we are introduced to the young man and his bold plan to reach the distant shores of Yokohama, Japan beginning in the imperial capital, Vienna. What he expects to be a straightforward journey across the continents to Asia, becomes a much different, challenging adventure filled with eccentric characters, new destinations, and 19th century criminals.

Stay tuned for part two, coming soon!

Eduard Medinger's personal letters and diaries were provided by his great grandson, Gregor Medinger, to make this special possible. Gregor Medinger also provides narration throughout the episode.
