Let it Ride Episode 36: A Fireside Reading of “How a Traveler Became a Longhair”

He was a guy with short hair. Very short. And spiky.

The classic, buttoned up, high-and-tight, clean-shaven, all-American businessman led a comfortable life with a good corporate job and neatly-blended fade long before he was blessed with the flow.

But he left that all behind in 2012, departing the United States for what would be a transformative journey around the world, spanning 11 months, touching down in 28 countries and landing him squarely on this side of the awkward stage.

This epic journey was chronicled by The Longhairs in their 2015 blog post, “How A Traveler Became A Longhair,” featuring a video montage and metaphorical narrative of the story behind his fateful adventure. Here on The Longhairs Podcast, Episode 36, El Rubio narrates a fireside reading of this post.

There never would have been The Longhairs without long hair. And there wouldn’t have been long hair without the trip around the world. Listen to El Rubio on The Longhairs Podcast, Episode 36: A Fireside Reading of “How a Traveler Became a Longhair.”
