In today's TAKES episode, we sit down with author Joshua Samuel Brown to discuss his previous work, but also his up-and-coming novel: Taiwan Pilgrimage!

We discuss his life and many journeys around Taiwan in the past and present, and how they've informed his work up until now. Then we talk about how, through this new work, he explores Taiwan as a spiritual destination on par with its neighbors, and what he learned about the depth of belief and spiritual practices on this wonderful little island.
