Two continent stops (Asia and Africa) completed; two countries inquired about (South Korea and Angola); and twelve books were read thus far in "Around the World in 6 Books." The books discussed covered folk tales, wars, colonialism, gastronomy, a female warrior queen, and cultural movements - amongst other subjects. At least six glocalizing activities were enjoyed too as a result of all of that reading and learning!
But as much as fun as those country journeys were the time has come to learn about the third country in the podcast's first journey. Which one will it be, and in what continent is it in?
Find out in Part III's first episode, where the next country journey is introduced. Towards the end of the episode I’ll also introduce listeners to the first book of the country's journey. Book 1's discussion episode premieres in a month.
Stay tuned!

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
