In Search of #6 ~ A travelogue and memoir written and performed by Damon Timm; available as an audiobook podcast (podiobook) in iTunes or on your feedreader.
Wherein Ben and Damon attempt to proselytize the uninitiated in the Tao of Bicycling; their prostitis, having receded from days of rest, is replaced by a yearning for the finer things in life, including, but not limited to: the soft-boiled egg of yesteryear.
While I recorded my interview for The Front Porch on June 14th; it was aired on NHPR on June 19th, at 6:30p EST. If you missed the show live, you can still hear the audio online (my part begins at about minute 15:30 and goes to the end):

One amusing anecdote regarding my interview on NHPR: a friend of mine from college (fellow New Hampshire-ite and bike tourer) was in a bar in Berlin (NH) and during the course of a conversation with a stranger came to discussing his bicycle trip across the country. The man said, “Did you hear that crazy guy on the radio who had only kissed like five girls and went on a bike trip out west?” My friend said: “Why yes, I have, he is a friend of mine.” And, of course, the man’s inner prejudice was reinforced, specifically: that all bike riders are whackos and that we all know each other.

Wherein Ben and Damon rest at Crater Lake and #6 heals hearts and wounds; Ben is devoured by mosquitoes and Damon cooks eggs in his rain coat while mastering downward-facing dog pose using a frying pan that had been given to him on loan by the Virgin Mary herself and forever changed the egg-free culinary habits of the wandering nomads.
Wherein Ben and Damon cross the desert and are greeted by two angels awaiting a messiah; Ben applies Arnica Montana and Damon is tired; an egg is taught to square dance but while it performs for itinerant woodsmen it is shot in the flank with a flaming arrow wielded by a mysterious rider on horseback.
