NO SIGNAL : A Japanese Backpacker's Philosophy from the Last Analog Age

Some journeys can't be Googled. Some lessons can't be streamed.In December 2000, Macy left Sapporo, Hokkaido with a rationed budget and zero digital safety net. Over 16 months, he hitchhiked Japan then crossed Asia overland — Korea, China, Southeast Asia, New Zealand, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, and India.No Signal is a philosophical travel podcast unlike any other. The era: 2001, before smartphones, works as an antidote to our hyperconnected world. The perspective: a Japanese lens of surrendering to flow and finding meaning in friction. The tone: equal parts comedy and quiet philosophy.
