Show Notes Chapter Markers

Step One: Ask Apollo!

Riding over 10,000 miles through all the lower 48 states is not a simple matter of hopping in the saddle and riding off into the sunset(s).  It took years of planning, daily flexibility, and a bit of magic to make it work.  Oh, and of course a horse with excellent map reading skills.

Listen weekly as Meredith and Apollo share about their multi-year 48-state journey (The Centauride), talk with interesting guests, and discuss the realities of domestic abuse.
