Summary

National Geographic staff writer Jordan Salama joins Zibby to talk about his first book, Every Day The River Changes, which he originally started writing during his first trip to Colombia in 2016. The two discuss some of Jordan's most recent and popular stories for Nat Geo and the New York Times, what he learned from travel writing during the Covid lockdown, and how he hopes this book will challenge readers to reconsider stereotypes about other countries and their people. Jordan also shares how he feels about his book being selected as the Class of 2026 Pre-read book at his alma mater, Princeton, and where he hopes his career will eventually lead him.
