In this episode, Jake reads and talks about his chapter from 'Schau ma mal,' the book born our of this podast: The Alps are Austria's Ocean. 

Comparisons are drawn between surf culture in Australia and Austria's mountain culture. Plus, a travel journal-type recount of a multi-day mountain hike includes a cow protest, Tiroleans, racist marmots, a Frankenstein-like transformation up in the mountains, and what Austria should be using as a torture technique.
