I’m listening to him talk about his toilet problems. He seems unfit for travel and unable to do any research. Seriously, if your focus is on misadventures, then misadventures will seek you out. Morocco has millions of happy tourists that I couldn’t help thinking the problem was with his personality. What’s the point of this podcast? It doesn’t work as humor, as literature, or as helpful guide. Bye bye.

It seems a bit insensitive to laugh at these accounts of the authors amusing and unbelievable experiences in Morocco, but I’m guessing humor is the only thing that him through them. I highly recommend this podcast and the book, too!
This author has had some hilarious and intense experiences in Morocco! Definitely worth a listen. And the interviews with the author shed some interesting additional light on his experiences.
Delightful as are all conversations with this creative author, more soon please
