Episode Details

Hitchhiking in the 80s was wild—full of hopeful thumbs, dodgy detours, and strangers who’d wave you off but still stop. From a rough night in Mullingar to a cosmic twist on Croagh Patrick, the author’s tales blend nostalgia, survival, and serendipity. One ride led to a Bruce Springsteen last-minute dash, another to a singing stranger who made him bolt. It’s a ride through trust, fear, and the weird, wonderful chaos of hitching a ride when no one’s sure if anyone’s even still doing it.
