Young Man Walks Across America to Listen, Understand

Aired on New England Public Radio, March 2017

In 2012, at the age of 23, Andrew Forsthoefel decided to walk 4,000 miles across America with a handmade sign that said “Walking to Listen.” Along the way, he recorded dozens of stories from the people he met.

 Now settled in Western Massachusetts, Forsthoefel has a new book about his journey. I joined him for a much shorter stroll to talk about his experience.
