<![CDATA[Wilaker: A Journeyer's Podcast]]>Wilaker: A Journeyer's Podcast is a limited series podcast from and about comedian Will Abeles. Newly sober, Will put together a six-week nationwide comedy tour in May and June of 2025 to reclaim his identity. Ironically, the stress of putting it together contributed to his first relapse. But Will went anyway, touring from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon, living out of his Subaru while opening for some of his comedy heroes and headlining, or trying to anyway, throughout the Pacific Northwest. But Wilaker isn't a just sobriety podcast. It's a people podcast dedicated to all the conversations and experiences he had with strangers, friends, comics and family along the way. One part Jack Kerouac's On The Road, one part Anthony Bourdain and a huge dollop of Will Abeles storytelling and his failing forward mentality. If you're on a journey of you own, check out Wilaker: A Journeyer's Podcast.

I make my way from Portland to Bend where tragedy strikes once again but the power of people saves me. The next day is the first No Kings march and I'm genuinely concerned whether or not the country will still be standing by the time I get to Boise. Guess we'll have to find out.
