The Lost City of the Monkey God

This week’s Bookmonger podcast is with Douglas Preston, author of The Lost City of the Monkey God, a true story about discovering an ancient ruin in the jungles of Honduras. In a 10-minute conversation, we discuss space-imaging technology, visiting an impenetrable jungle, avoiding jaguars and venom-spitting snakes, incurable diseases, and more. This is an Indiana Jones tale, but in real life.

 

John J. Miller, the national correspondent for National Review and host of its Great Books podcast, is the director of the Dow Journalism Program at Hillsdale College. He is the author of A Gift of Freedom: How the John M. Olin Foundation Changed America.
