Listen "11. Happily Everest After"
Episode Synopsis
Lost In Postulation is back on top of the world (literally) with the first ever Ultimate Celebrity Everest Climb! First though, in our weekly mundane postulation we try to reach a unified theory of drinking water which sees us discuss the following: Is it okay to dilute sparkling water? Why are some sparkling waters salty? What can we learn from Ireland? (1:32).It's then on to one of our most ambitious postulations yet, starting with us ruminating on the explosion of commercial mountaineering and why Mount Everest continues be venerated within the pop culture (10:05). Then we introduce the Ultimate Celebrity Everest Climb whereby a confluence of events brings the UN Security Council, Neil, a Nepali sherpa and a ragtag bunch of celebrities together in an effort to bring about a lasting world peace (14:50). After a debrief on the grueling journey, Neil dives into drafting his team from a wide-ranging list of athletes, world leaders, actors, musicians, authors and business people. Who will he choose to bring along for the adventure (25:00) and what role will each of them play (49:50)? The fate of the world remains in the balance.We conclude by crashing back down to earth with a parting shot from Amsterdam (56:00).As ever, you can connect with us through our twitter account @InPostulation and via email [email protected]. Feedback, questions and postulations all very welcome! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
