ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Day Trips for Nihilists returns with an earth-shattering, light-hearted new format. But who out there will heed this? Still, the goal remains the same: finding meaning in a meaningless world. Our other mantra is: slow down, enjoy the world!
This week's meaningful encounter is with some 'alien-eyed' fire salamanders.
