One Man's "American Ramble": A Journey On Foot From Washington DC To NYC

Diane Rehm: On My Mind - A podcast by WAMU 88.5 - Thursdays

A 330 mile-walk from Washington, D.C. to New York City. That’s what journalist Neil King decided to embark on in the spring of 2021. The idea started as a whim – but developed into an obsession. Recently recovered from a long bout with esophageal cancer and having watched the country become increasingly divided, King came to see the journey as a pilgrimage of sorts – a tour through our country’s past and present, and an opportunity for him to reconnect with what matters in life. He documented his trip in a new book titled, “American Ramble: A Walk Of Memory And Renewal.”
