In this moving episode, Penguin Modern Classic author Tété-Michel
Kpomassie lifts the lid on his rare gem of travel writing and the
startling journey that took him from Africa to Greenland.


Part memoir, part anthropological observation, Michel the Giant
is a storytelling feat. Kpomassie digs deep into the astonishing
experience that changed the course of his life and led to his
much-acclaimed book.   


Plus, The Upgrade hosts Fleur and Amira compare notes on the
travel destinations that make them nostalgic. They explore places
that have a pull because of their impactful memories and discuss
why this kind of travel experience is seeing a rise.
