We're back from our summer break with a conversation you don't want to miss. True friends are worth their weight in gold and our guest this week is one such individual. Jim Johnston seldom meets a stranger and has plenty of stories to share in his own right, but in this conversation we cover some fantastic stories and memories passed down by his dad, the late Elmo Johnston, and you won't find a much better encapsulation of our Old Florida heritage. Our topics range from Elmo's early days cow hunting to his transition into the earliest days of the sod business in Florida. From there, we also talk some Chalo Nitka history and get a highly entertaining glimpse into the early days of the Gladesmen culture and more. Tune in and get comfortable for a ride into parts of Florida's past that are fading fast.

Every month on Pathways, host Aaron Millar and producer Jason Paton crack open a few stories, play their favorite clips, and take you on a whirlwind preview of what’s coming up this month on Armchair Explorer. It’s part travel hangout, part behind-the-scenes, and a whole lot of part “wait, you did what?” Special Offer: we’ve revived our ⁠NEWSLETTER!⁠ (scroll to the bottom of our homepage to signup) And contact us for a free copy of our fearless leader Aaron Millar’s ebook:  ⁠The 50 Greatest Wonders of the World⁠ Award-winning travel journalist Aaron Millar reveals the greatest wonders of the world and the insider secrets on how to see them. From where to catch the perfect sunrise over the Grand Canyon to how to swim up to the very edge of the Victoria Falls, this is a road map for discovering the greatest experiences of your life.  🌍 This Month on Pathways: Around the World by Bike with Chris McCaffrey Meet Chris McCaffrey, an adventurer from Boulder, Colorado, who biked across the world. Sounds epic already—but halfway through his 17-month journey, he caught a mystery illness that nearly ended it all. From pushing through a near-fatal illness to profound reflections on adventure and risk, his story hits hard and goes deep. 🦈 Surviving a Great White Shark Encounter Our very own landlord (yep, you read that right), Patrick, drops by with a jaw-dropping tale—literally. While filming great whites off Guadalupe Island, a 21-foot shark ripped the cage apart with him still inside. It’s terrifying, intense, and weirdly philosophical. Bonus: He’s got a viral video and a calf tattoo to prove it. 👽 Discovering South America's Hidden Wonders with Dylan Thuras Follow Atlas Obscura co-founder Dylan Thuras on a quest to discover South America’s hidden wonders. From the Last Incan Bridge and the Machu Picchu of the North to the Everlasting Lightning Storm and a statue of a squid fighting a whale the size of the statue of liberty, this is an epic ride through Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia and Peru’s weirdest and wildest wonders. The stuff glittering in the shadows that you may never have heard of before, but you’ll be desperate to see after. ✈️ Travel & Misconceptions We revisit past guests who shared their experiences traveling in places like Iran.
