    Lost Is a State of Mind

    Peter Stark and Jimmy Mac uncover metaphors for loss as they discuss the transformative experience of starting anew–including Peter’s very own origin story that took him from the depths of the 1973 oil crisis to the peaks of the Himalayas, and back again. Plus: What to do when you want to panic, what happens when the center does not hold, what incites the world’s greatest stories–and a look at Lord of the Flies.  Visit us at peterstarkauthor.com, and on YouTube.

    How to Get Lost (and Why You Should)

    What does it mean to be lost? Peter Stark and Jimmy Mac wander through literal and figurative lands, as they explore losing bearings, the terror of losing your way both in the mist of a snowy mountain peak or the suburbs, the American tradition of losing yourself to find yourself, and the times when even a seasoned world adventurer like Peter simply cannot believe his own compass. They also cover the fascinating science discussed in "Why People Get Lost" by Paul Dudchenko. Visit us at peterstarkauthor.com, and on YouTube. A Planet Clare Production | planetclareproductions.com

    Let's Get Lost

    Before heading out to get lost on their adventure in podcasting, author-adventurer Peter Stark and wandering broadcaster Jimmy Mac catch up listeners with their friendship’s origin story, which begins with Peter’s acclaimed book Young Washington. What follows is tales of America’s founding father’s wilderness expedition, barge trips in France, musing on why we yearn to “head out,” and, ultimately, deciding exactly what a last empty place is.
