On this week's episode of You Be Trippin', Jon Ronson takes Ari to Rhodes, Greece. Jon walks it back to his days as a keyboardist when a spontaneous crazy lady invites him to Greece the next day. While half his trip was spent suffering, the crescendo was scene out of a movie. Jon talks about his experience as a nonfiction writer and has a very interesting take on the lives he's lived while writing. One of his "lives" involves a very infamous cult leader. They wrap up the episode with some fond memories of Glastonbury. Αντίο!
