Over at Gadling, we've done some podcasts with adventurers like John Chatterton and Fabien Cousteau, but also
with big names in the travel biz like Don George. Well, now we're taking another tack and posting a podcast with a new,
young author named Joshua Davis. Davis is the author of the book The
Underdog: How I Survived the World's Most Outlandish Competitions, and is also a writer at Wired Magazine. The
book is wonderful. In it, Davis talks about placing fourth in the international arm wrestling championships, despite
having never arm wrestled in his life, at least not professionally. Davis moves on to Sumo wresting and takes on men
three times his size...again, one wouldn't say successfully, unless just living through the experience can be called a
success, which I suppose it can. Well, I don't want to give away any more of the story. Let Josh tell it himself. As you can hear from the podcast, he's a very cool, very friendly guy, and you'll find his perspective on life refreshing.
